International Student Services

First year students at Pre-Orientation 2012.

Mission Statement

International Student Services is committed to serving as a resource for learning about and fostering cross-cultural awareness and competency at Denison University. Our growing international community includes foreign nationals, U.S. citizens and permanent residents who live abroad, and individuals who identify as global citizens. In partnership with teaching faculty, staff and the broader student community, we strive to enhance educational opportunities and promote intercultural exchange throughout our campus and local communities.

International Student Services offers students who have been educated abroad the tools, guidance and instruction to engage and perform at their optimal level in the U.S. academic domain. To that end, we provide a comprehensive pre-orientation program for entering students, one on one advising on the academic, social and personal challenges associated with living and learning in an unfamiliar culture, and continuing education on the immigration regulations, requirements and expectations pertinent to the non-immigrant student visa.
