International Student Support
An International Student Advisor (ISA) is available to support students enrolling from outside the United States socially and academically as they adjust to life in the U.S. and at Austin College and to familiarize them with campus and community resources. In addition, through the College’s Student Ambassador Program, international students are connected with American students – and are able to assist one another in cultural understanding. The group enjoys cultural exchanges and socializing as well as some off-campus outings. The ISA also is available to discuss students’ academic experiences and make them aware of services that might be helpful. Through the Admission Office, current international students are paired with prospective students from abroad to provide perspective and guidance as international students make college decisions.
In addition, like all students, international students have a faculty mentor throughout their Austin College experience. All freshman complete a freshman seminar course during the first fall term. Students explore a particular assigned topic while further developing abilities in writing, oral communication, research skills, and other facets of intellectual inquiry. The course instructor becomes the students’ mentor, who helps students in degree planning and toward pursuing internships, study abroad, research, or other areas that will enrich their educational experience.
