International Student Services
The
Office of International Student Services (ISS) provides services
and advocacy for international students. The ISS office offers
assistance
with USCIS (formerly the INS) procedures, particularly for visa
status maintenance and employment options. Additionally, it provides
pre-semester orientation for new students, adjustment workshops
for continuing students, and re-entry workshops for graduating
students. The office also coordinates access for international
students to both University and external resources, for insurance,
banking, social security, and daily life needs.
In addition, the Office of International Student Services moderates the
activities of the International
Student Association (ISA). The ISA
seeks to foster an awareness of other cultures at the Lewis University
campus,
promote friendships between international students, as well as with
American students, and provide support and appreciation for the international
student
community at Lewis University. It accomplishes this by providing special
programs and opportunities for social interaction and
constructive culture exchange. All programs and activities are non-political
in nature.
