International Students and Scholars The office of International Students and Scholars (ISS) provides assistance to more than 2,000 nonimmigrant students and scholars from 102 countries throughout the world. The goals of ISS are to assist international students and scholars with their education on U.S. immigration regulations, orientation to university resources and environment, exposure to American culture, and integration into the greater campus and community. ISS is responsible for advisement and support to students, faculty and staff on matters specifically related to international students and scholars. Additional international-related services include leadership programs, employment and tax assistance, immigration consultation, liaison with embassies, consulates and sponsoring agencies, legal referrals, academic referrals, orientation programs, community involvement, logistical support for special and nonacademic short-term programs and symposiums, as well as development in China. ISS provides numerous services to newly-admitted international students after their arrival in the U.S. Some of the services include banking, orientation, enrollment assistance, employment clearances, sponsored student transportation and support as needed. ISS informs continuing students on events and immigration issues through its weekly ISS listserv and page. ISS also provides various public presentations on internationally-related issues as requested. ISS supports numerous events and activities through the sponsorship of the International Student Organization (ISO) that encourage American and international student integration as well as faculty and staff participation. ISS is located at 250 Student Union within the Department of Leadership and Campus Life. Find us at http://iss.okstate.edu/. ISO can be found at this link http://orgs.okstate.edu/iso/. Lectures Oklahoma State University, through its academic organizations and student groups, has a significant number of speakers each year, enriching the intellectual life on campus. Individuals, from both off-campus and on-campus, share their expertise with faculty, students, staff and town's people on a wide variety of topics. Many of the academic units as well as student groups invite speakers to their meetings in order to enhance the educational component of the University. These lectures are generally of interest to specific academic areas, rather than to the general campus. The Student Government Association, through its Speaker's Board, brings major figures in politics, entertainment and business to the campus. The Student Union Activities Board also has a speaker's program related to topics of general student interest. Other student organizations conduct active lecture programs concerning their interest areas.

Allied Arts conducts lecture-demonstrations in conjunction with its performing arts presentations. In this manner, students can gain additional knowledge of the performing arts and its artists. Non-Traditional Student Services The primary goal is to assist nontraditional students, anyone with at least a two-year break in education, by providing support, information and referrals. The coordinator serves as a resource person for the entire campus community and seeks to raise the awareness of faculty, administrators and students with regard to the needs of this special group. All nontraditional students are encouraged to stop by the Department of Leadership and Campus Life Center, 211 Student Union to discuss their concerns or questions. The coordinator also advises students who have rent-related difficulties, such as landlord disputes, or who are looking for housing off-campus.
