International students are an important and vibrant part of our campuses today. And, according to recent reports, international students are coming to the US in increasing numbers.  Like “traditional” students, international students require services, support and opportunities to succeed. Institutions are beginning to think past the “traditional” international student services office and looking at ways they can make offices and departments more service and support friendly to international students.
