As International Student Advisor, my goal is to help you attain the best academic and cultural experience at SUNY Upstate Medical University, through your engagement in diverse educational and social experiences, while complying with US federal immigration regulations. I am here to help you adjust to the academic and cultural environment in the US, the Syracuse community, and to provide you with information to help guide you to maintain legal F-1 status, and educate you about the F-1 student benefits that you are eligible for. We will soon start the planning for the 2nd International Month, and the 3rd Annual International Festival, coming up in April. I look forward to your participation! I look forward to hearing from you! Phone: 315 464-4604 |
