Winter Break Resources for Students in Greensboro
Are you staying in the Triad area during the winter break? We understand that the extended break period puts additional stress on international students and their families this year. IPC has worked with the iAmbassadors and Graduate Student Association to compile a list of resources with campus and community resources for technology access, food, housing, and more!
