Beginning on May 29, the main entrance to our office at 6901 Willow St will be closed due to remodeling for the front desk. During this time, students and scholars will not be able to enter our office using the front door. To access our building during the renovations, please use the side door located on the side of our building closest to the PJs on Willow St. Once you enter, follow the signage to the temporary front desk. OISS will remain open for normal business hours during the construction. We anticipate the construction should be complete in 2-3 weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Meet Your Orientation Leaders

Fall 2025 Orientation Leaders

Our international student orientation leaders are a vital part of the team that helps incoming international students feel welcomed, supported, and connected from the moment they arrive. These student leaders bring a diverse array of talents, languages, and cultural perspectives to create a warm and inclusive environment. With firsthand experience navigating the transition to a new country and academic system, these students offer invaluable peer guidance, share practical tips, and foster friendships that span cultures. Through leading activities, hosting information sessions, and providing one-on-one support, they play a crucial role in helping new students feel at home and start their journey with confidence and community. Congratulations to our five orientation leaders leading the Summer/Fall 2025 Orientation Sessions!
