Información
ACIREMA (America spelled backwards) is a workshop that includes a simulation exercise designed to sensitize participants to the months of difficulties that international students encounter in their quest for a U.S. education. It acquaints the participants with the procedures and obstacles students must follow from the initial contact with a U.S. educational institution to their arrival on campus. A facilitated discussion takes place after the simulation to address the specific issues at stake, as well as what participants can do in the future to help support international students. A reception will be held after the debrief in the Multicultural Center.
Volunteers will help with setup/cleanup & check-in. We are also seeking volunteers to act in a variety of different roles during the simulation and also in a panel discussion.
