International Student Services
The International Student Services Office serves as the initial contact for all students from abroad and remains a point of reference during your years on campus. Emphasis is on creating a welcoming environment that, in turn, builds trust and foster personal and intellectual growth that each student can take back to his/her home country. The department promotes cross-cultural awareness and seeks to build mutual respect by providing a venue for cultural, educational and social events for students, faculty, and the community at large.
