ISPO’s New International Student Orientation was designed with different time zones and student interests in mind! Orientation follows a workshop or line-up format, in which different sessions are held at every hour of the day during September 8th - September 18th. To help prepare students who have travel plans to arrive in the U.S. this fall, ISPO will also provide a series of workshops as a part of pre-orientation beginning Monday, August 10th. Sessions range from regulatory workshops such as learning about your immigration documents and regulations to networking with other international students starting their program virtually (who might even be in their same city) to learning how to acclimate to university life. Additionally, you will notice that some of the sessions are repeating - please note that these are the same sessions but offered at different times in order to accommodate time zones and schedule conflicts. ISPO has designed a virtual Welcome Packet to help engage our new admits and help them prepare for the journey ahead!
