Our office is committed to providing a holistic approach to supporting international students and scholars at Tulane University. Through our comprehensive Engagement efforts, we offer trainings, workshops, orientation, and social activities for our students, scholars, and the Tulane community.
Check out some of the ways below that you can get involved with OISS!
International Education Week (IEW) is a celebration of Tulane's global community and an opportunity to reflect upon Tulane's global impact. IEW is a joint national initiative of the Department of State and the Department of Education to think more deeply about internationalization across U.S. Campuses. If you would like to get involved in IEW programs with our office, please reach out to us at oiss@tulane.edu.
We host information sessions to equip students and scholars with immigration, procedural, and intercultural knowledge and skills to succeed at Tulane. This can include tailored information sessions focused on career skills, presentations on safety in New Orleans, and more. If you and your department have information you'd like to get to international students and scholars, please reach out to Justin Reid at jreid4@tulane.edu.
The International Showcase is an opportunity for Tulane students to share their culture, food, and fashion! Through culture booths, dance performances, and exhibits, attendees can learn about global cultures and enjoy the rich international community we have at Tulane. If you are interested in cosponsoring this event and helping organize, please reach out to Justin Reid at jreid4@tulane.edu.
TU & You is an ongoing orientation series introducing international students to important ideas and concepts to prepare them for success at Tulane.
