The International Student Association (ISA) announced this week that it will be moving its iconic Coffee Hour to the Ford Alumni Center Ballroom. The event, a weekly mixer that fosters interaction between international students and the community at large, has traditionally been held at Mills International Center every Friday from 4-6 p.m. since 1982. However, the current reconstruction of the EMU has greatly hampered the weekly meet-up.

ISA is changing venues in order to continue to provide a safe space for both domestic students and international students  to come together.
