The international graduate student community is an integral part of our academic community here on campus. The University of Maryland, College Park is home to approximately 3,300 international graduate students representing over 120 countries. For this reason, the Graduate School has been sponsoring an annual International Graduate Student Thanksgiving Dinner, both to celebrate this critical constituency but also to build community.

The Graduate School hosted a networking event for new international graduate students on September 20.  Hosted by Interim Dean Jeffrey Franke, and attended by various support services across the campus, the program offered an opportunity for international graduate students to build connections.
