MIIS- Student Affairs

In collaboration with Student Services, Student Council is excited to announce Back to MIIS Fest (October 2nd from 12-4pm) ? a celebration welcoming the MIIS community back to campus. Come enjoy music, food trucks, games, a community art mural, and more!
Admission is free with your MIIS lanyard, MIIS ID card, and COVID-19 compliance sticker. No outside guests are permitted. When students arrive at the event, you’ll be gifted with a goodie bag and a $5 food voucher that’s also good for two free drinks.

We will hold a Karaoke event using the app WeSing or Changba for people to sing Cantonese songs together. We will first convene on Zoom for some housekeeping before we move together to Karaoke apps. Please contact us at zhiyuanf@middlebury.edu for the link.

The Venezuelan Experience is a 2-part series from MIRA (MIIS Immigrant Rights Alliance). This 2-part event will kick off this Fri, Apr 30 at 6PM PST with a personal narrative from a Venezuelan asylee currently living in San Diego. She will walk us through her personal experiences in Venezuela and shed light on the human impact of the mass displacement of Venezuelans across the world.

We are excited to present Marty Pfeiffer, an anthropologist, and nuclear abolitionist who studies how we create and circulate meaning about, with, and through nuclear weapons and technology. Marty will discuss the importance of the Freedom of Information Act and how to use it to request previously unreleased information from the United States Government. Marty Pfeiffer is a PhD candidate at the University of New Mexico.

The CTBTO Youth Group @ MIIS has been hard at work establishing a closer relationship with the global CYG and are happy to announce our first joint event.
