If so, then you are perfect for this study. Volunteers will participate in three focus group sessions during the 2009-10 academic year.

Our colleague and friend, Greg Toya, is examining university cross-cultural centers for a dissertation study. As a former cross-cultural center director, Greg's experience and study will further the understanding of the influence of cross-cultural centers on students.
