The International Student Life Team offers many different activities and events throughout the year to help students explore and learn about Portland and the Pacific Northwest, try new cuisines and restaurants, engage with other students, practice speaking English, and have a great time while studying at PCC! All activities and events are announced in our weekly International Student Newsletter, which is emailed to all international students each Monday morning.
