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. [These] videos debunk common misconceptions and stereotypes about some minorities which are represented on the UW campus. The audience can see common scenarios that may help them better interact with minorities.
