The Office of International Programs offers an orientation specifically designed for first-year international students (undergraduates and graduates), international transfer students, incoming exchange students, and supporters. This program will allow international students to become familiar with the Ithaca College campus and meet other international students before the official fall 2023 orientation begins.
Take a look at our upcoming events!
