International Student Orientation (ISO) begins
on Sunday, August 26, 2012. ISO
is required for all incoming students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent
residents/immigrants. ISO is designed to help students become knowledgeable about various U.S.
government regulations, to become familiar with the local community, and to meet and
socialize with other international students. ISO allows
international students some time to recover from jet lag and gives insight
into adjusting to life in the United States.
