The International Student Services office provides services for the 52 international students at MBU. From extensive help with paperwork to working through culture shock, the ISS office is an amazing resource for its students. Last weekend, they held their first-ever BBQ to kick off the school year and provide an opportunity for the students to get to know each other. The BBQ was held at the home of Jessica Fitzgerald, director of International Student Services.
