International Experience

As an international person myself, I know firsthand what it entails to be an international student since I studied in the USA for three and a half years, and I, currently, teach ESL at CSU. I also lived in Israel, taught ESL to high school students, travelled to many European and north African countries, and met different people from the Middle East. I also have experience working with a variety of people interpreting to them from English to Arabic or Hebrew and vice versa.

Favorite Aspect of CSU

I love and appreciate having the Office of International program as part of CSU because it shows how much the university cares about having international students and provides them with a plethora of opportunities to help them adjust to their new lives, reach their potential and achieve their goals.
