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.

Countdown to Mardi Gras 2022

The Office of Students and Scholars was a lead sponsor for a Mardi Gras Mask-Making Global Cafe on February 8.  Over 200 students came and enjoyed king cake, making masks and discussing Mardi Gras traditions from New Orleans and from around the world.
