At ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥, we value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all students can thrive. We understand that transitioning to a new country and culture is a daunting experience and that is why we have created the Office of International Student Engagement (ISE).
The purpose of the ISE is to support and advocate our international students outside of the classroom experience. We design orientation programs at the beginning of each semester where you will have the opportunity to meet other international students, as well as faculty and staff who are dedicated to helping you succeed.
At orientation, you will be provided with important information about academic requirements, campus resources, and cultural norms in the United States. We will also offer workshops on topics such as navigating the healthcare system, opening bank accounts, and setting up mobile accounts. Additionally, you will have the chance to participate in social events, tours of the campus and surrounding areas, and other fun activities to help you get to know your new community.
To ensure that you are supported throughout your college experience at ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥, we offer regular social events that foster a sense of community and belonging at our campus. We help develop leadership skills through participation in student organizations and clubs as well as campus wide events.
As part of our commitment in making your transition as smooth as possible, ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥ provides transportation to the international student orientation program. We understand that navigating transportation in a new country can be challenging, so we want to make sure that you have a stress-free arrival to campus. Details on this transportation will be sent through further communications. We will arrange for transportation from the identified airports to the University, so you don't have to worry about finding your way on your own. We are here to support you every step of the way and want to make sure that you have a positive and memorable experience at ÃÄÄïÖ±²¥.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community and supporting you as you embark on this exciting new journey. See you soon!
