Student and Scholar Resources
International Services Office Resources
For students and scholars, International Services is available to arrange for a Zoom chat to better understand how we can support you during this time. Whether it is connecting with others from the impacted areas for shared support, helping to organize a panel discussion for the larger University community, or simply just to listen, the ISO is happy to help. Please contact Wendy Fritz at wfritz@ur.rochester.edu.
