International Student Services (ISS)
The Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) facilitates international orientation, community building, and student programming. Workshops and counseling on culture shock and healthy transitions are also provided. The CIE is a critical part of linking international students to each other and the larger campus. Whether performing in Chapel, hosting a dinner, putting on a dance, watching an international film or just hanging out, the CIE creates space for International Students to find themselves, be comfortable, and share their experiences and culture.
An international student is a citizen of another country, a U.S. citizen who has lived in another country, or a U.S. permanent resident.
