Seminar Series Program
As part of the International Center's Seminar Series Program, two important topics will be presented during the month of February:

• Tenant/Landlord Seminar—This is a popular seminar that has been a co-sponsorship between the IU Student Legal Services office and the International Center for the past few years.  The goal is to provide international students with the necessary knowledge to understand the issue of lease agreements as well as the tenants' rights and responsibilities.  The seminar will be held on Thursday, February 21st, 7:00 p.m. at the IC.  Please RSVP to intlcent@indiana.edu by Tuesday, February 19th to reserve a spot.  Refreshments will be served.
