Addressing misconceptions about our university's international population

Two videos were recently developed by a Waterloo staff member, Chérisse Mike, as a voluntary initiative.  As Chérisse explains,

With an ever increasing international population, more and more students are coming into contact with others who are culturally different from them.

The audience can see common scenarios that may help them better interact with minorities.
