Upcoming Events Outside of ISSS

ISSS encourages international students, scholars, and staff to take advantage of special opportunities and activities. You can also get involved with cross-cultural and other special events and opportunities on-campus and in the community. When our office learns of such opportunities, we post them on this web site for your information. Participation in such activities can help you make career decisions or give you experiences that can be included on your resume and enhance your employability. Other activities may lead to friendships and cultural learning.

ISSS does not necessarily sponsor or endorse these events and organizations. Please use your own judgment when choosing to participate.

Special note to international students & scholars:
Always be sure to see an ISSS adviser about appropriate work authorization before applying for paid internships or professional employment opportunities.
