International Student Essay Contest
CGPS has hosted seven annual international student essay contests, the most recent one in collaboration with the Division of Student Life and the Graduate College. This year's contest has closed. Winners will be announced this spring.
While 2020 was certainly a unique year for all of us, some things remain as true as ever. CGPS and many partner offices on campus have a rich tradition of welcoming international students from all parts of the world. The mission to foster international understanding and cross-cultural awareness on campus and in the community is as important as ever. The purpose of this contest is to give interested applicants an opportunity to tell their stories and share the experiences and perspectives of being an international student with the larger University community.
Everyone has a story. We're excited to read yours!
