Last Call for "Coming to America" Stories!

One of the great strengths of OIT is our cultural diversity. It paves the way to better problem-solving, more empathy and compassion, deepened learning, and a wider range of perspectives. 

In honor of Independence Day this year, we’re inviting OIT employees who have come to the U.S. from different parts of the world to share their stories. We’d like to hear from you in your own words with brief answers to the following questions:

• From which country did you immigrate to the United States?
• What do you miss most about your home country? 
• What do you want your OIT colleagues to know about your native land? 
• What does Independence Day mean to you?
• How do you celebrate the 4th of July?

Please limit your responses to no more than a paragraph for each question. Responses will be published in PlanetOIT prior to the July 4 holiday. It's easy to submit your response - just click this Typeform link. In order to share your story in PlanetOIT, we will need your submission no later than Friday, June 23 at 5pm ET.

We look forward to hearing from you!
