NDSU Visits IXO

Tanya Kramer, Assistant Director of Study Abroad/International Student and Study Abroad Services, along with her colleague Matthew Dunham, brought 11 students from North Dakota State University (NDSU), USA, for a Friday visit to AUS last month. They were given a campus tour and engaged in conversation with our peer advisors at the IXO lounge.

We thank those in IXO who facilitated the tour and discussions, especially given that this visit took place during the weekend.

Study Tour

Dr. Kevin Gray, Assistant Professor and International Studies (INS) Coordinator, recently led a study tour participating in Jessup Moot Court in Washington, DC, USA.

“The Jessup Moot Court advanced the mission of the Department of International Studies and AUS as it provided the opportunity for an advanced study in International Law and Politics. In INS 350, students are introduced to legal advocacy, and this study tour was a great opportunity for them to travel and compete in a worldwide international law advocacy competition,” said Dr. Gray.
