The International Student Center has created a new space for students to come study, relax and take a break in between classes.
International students at Schoolcraft College now have their own space to get ahead on their studies.
The International Student Center, located in the McDowell Student Center, recently opened a dedicated student study space. Aimed at providing students with an area to study and rest in-between classes, the lounge has a table, computers and more to benefit international students. The space also offers snacks and personal hygiene products as well.
“This is the first time we’ve offered such a study space for our international students and we’re happy to give them a space that is all their own,” said Laura Leshok, director of the International Student Center. “Already we’ve seen plenty of our international students find comfort in coming to have a quiet space for them to feel more at home whenever they are on campus.”
The study room occupies a former break room within the International Student Center that had previously served as the temporary home of the Veterans Resource Center while its space was renovated in 2023.
The study room is open during the day Monday-Friday.
The space has seen plenty of usage as the semester progresses, especially given the large number of international students currently enrolled at Schoolcraft College. The College has more than 250 international students enrolled from nations such as India, Brazil, Germany, Senegal and plenty more.
