SEMO 101 Online Sessions
SE 101 is a virtual engagement series that will help prospective international students and recruitment partners learn about why SEMO is a top choice for international students.
SEMO 101 is a series of virtual engagements designed to help you find your fearless at SEMO from day one. You will meet boldly supportive teachers, staff, and student leaders who understand what it's like to start something new. These sessions give you the information you need, including where to live, what activities and clubs to explore, how to manage costs, and help you to connect with other students. The Office of International Education and Services is here to support you. Join us for spring and summer sessions where you can ask any questions and get ready to make the most of your time at SEMO.
A key aspect of applying for a visa to study in the U.S. is demonstrating you have concrete knowledge of the university you applied to. These sessions are designed to help you gain that information so that you can talk intelligently about SEMO during your visa application.
Anyone is welcome to join us for these sessions, where you can ask questions, meet new people, and start your journey as a SEMO student. Also, all sessions are recorded and archived below.
The upcoming sessions are listed below, and all are accessible in the same way. To join any of the live sessions, simply go to zoom.us/join and enter Meeting ID: 951 405 7146. Recordings of previous sessions can be found at the bottom of this page.
