Testimonials:
“From a personal experience, the
Multicultural/International Department provides very good, quality
services; especially in the way the advisors take care of students. I
have been delighted by the warmth and attention I received, and it’s
definitely the best place to meet other students from different
cultures. When I came here I was first kind of shy, but with the
support of advisors and new friends, I really learned how to be open
minded and more comfortable with others.” Ulrich Tofack, Ivory
Coast
“Hennepin Technical College is a great school.
I am happy to study here and grateful for the scholarship that I
received.” Lam Thai, Vietnam
