Group Events
Group events provide opportunities for international students and visiting scholars to go off campus and explore some of the wonderful resources in the Albany area, meet students from other universities, and interact with Americans. These events include recreational activities, concerts, trips, classes, and dinners that are fun and educational. Americans and internationals from all of our schools participate in these events.
Each event is advertised through email. Detailed information for each event is sent out one to two weeks in advance of the event. If you are on our email list, please check your email for registration information. If you are not on the list and wold like to be, please contact us (see below). There is no commitment involved in being on the e-mail list.
