International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)

International Student and Scholar Services, or ISSS, provides pre-arrival and orientation activities, as well as, immigration, adjustment, personal, and financial advising for international students and scholars.

ISSS also collaborates with other departments on campus to offer training workshops, educational programs, and other opportunities to help students, staff, and faculty recognize the impact culture has on our daily lives and interactions and develop effective strategies to increase our awareness while improving our skills. Some examples include:

• Bridge is a leadership training program for all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students designed to increase intercultural awareness and skills, while enhancing understanding and connection. Focus is on increasing self-awareness while building intercultural leadership skills.
• The International Student Advisory Board (ISAB) seeks to voice and advocate for the concerns and needs of international students in order to improve the international student experience and create a more inclusive campus environment.
