2025 Global Spartan Month Fair
Each March, we celebrate the benefits of international education and cultural exchange through a series of events we call Global Spartan Month (GSM). There are many ways to participate in GSM, from attending events that get you to make connections with people from around the world, to learning more about opportunities to study in another country, to participating in workshops that will help you broaden your global mindset. Our biggest event is our GSM Fair.
2023 Global Spartan Photo Contest Winners
Each spring, International Student & Scholar Services hosts the annual Global Spartan Photo Contest. Our goal is to share a variety of cultural perspectives through photography and short narratives. As such, each photo submission is accompanied by a short narrative that explains the cultural significance of the photo from the photographer’s perspective. Narratives answer the questions: What aspect of culture does this photo represent? and Why is this photograph important to me?
The Most Impactful Narrative and Top 10 Photos are selected by the Global Spartan Month Planning Committee. In-person voting is open to the general public at our annual Global Spartan Month Fair in March, followed by online voting via social media. Once the voting period is over, the in-person and online votes are tallied to determine the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place Fan Favorites.
Congratulations to this year’s winner and all of our Top 10 finalists! Thank you for submitting such outstanding photos and sharing your unique cultural perspectives with us! Continue Reading…
Gearing up to Graduate: Alumni Panel

As recent graduates currently on OPT, they understand first-hand how challenging it can be to navigate the job search while also being mindful of immigration regulations.
