Paperwork. Money. Language barriers. These are just a few challenges international students face when applying to universities in the United States. To help the Wichita State community better understand these challenges, WSU’s Office of International Education will host ACIREMA (America spelled backward) workshops Friday, Nov. 12 at the Intensive Language Center.

ACIREMA is an interactive workshop that walks you through the challenges international students experience as they seek an American education. Join us on this international journey and see if you will make it to WSU.

The workshops are available at the following times:

• 12:30-2 p.m.
• 12:45-2:15 p.m.
• 1-2:30 p.m.
• 1:15-2:45 p.m.
