#MyMessage
International students from all over the world share their experience transitioning to life in the United States.
Every student has a story. The #MyMessage project gathered the stories of international students from different countries, different ages and different fields of study. They were asked not only to share their experiences, but also to deliver their messages to the Syracuse University community or their home country.
