Our dedicated team brings rich experience in academic advising, financial guidance, and international student programming. We specialize in navigating the intersection of global perspectives and U.S. academic life, offering nuanced guidance that responds to each student’s unique context while supporting their intellectual and personal goals. In all of our work, we honor the diverse experiences international students contribute to the Brown community and help them integrate those perspectives into their growth at Brown and beyond. As part of this commitment, we host a robust calendar of info sessions, workshops and cohort meetings, ranging from academic planning, concentration exploration to financial literacy. The full programming calendar is available here.
While the International Student Advising team in the College, the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (OISSS), and the Global Brown Center for International Students (GBC) are all committed to supporting international students, our roles are complementary. OISSS is the primary resource for visa and immigration advising, the International Student Advising team focuses on academic and financial wellness, and GBC offers community-building and cultural programming to foster a sense of belonging. Together, we form a network of support that addresses the full spectrum of international students’ experiences at Brown.
