MIIS- Student Affairs

Come hang out and discuss major world issues in Spanish with natives and students. Professors and MIIS students from diverse programs will get together in a relaxed environment to talk about everything from Fair Trade to environmental sustainability to migration. There will be a topic of discussion that changes each week accompanied by a speaker who will facilitate the conversation. Teachers will be there to provide real world examples and give their points of view to enrich the conversation.
