Connections: A Student Newsletter
Volume 7 | November 2021
Hello friends,
 
We are proud to present the last edition for 2021 of our newsletter Connections.

This edition contains 20 articles, a record number of contributions from our fellow students. The theme for this edition is “what surprised or confused you when you first came to the United States?”

Responding to this intriguing and fascinating question, our students produced beautiful and touching articles, long and short, about their first impressions, memories or experiences about first moving to the United States.

Each story is unique and personal and no matter if they got here 20 years ago or arrived just this year, all of them capture the essence of our condition as human beings; we want to understand and to be understood, to love and be loved, to accept and to be accepted. Moreover, all the stories teach us what it is like to live in a new country and learn a new language.

I hope you enjoy your reading.

We wish all of you an end of 2021 with health and peace. We’ll see you in the next year.
