Event Details

Please join the Serie Center for “Internships and Other Employment for International Students.” Getiria Onsongo (Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science), Carrie Klaphake (Student Engagement and Career Advising, Career Exploration), Kara Warren (Advising, International Student Programs), Kate Larson (Career Exploration), and Luyen Phan (International Student Programs) will discuss helping international students get off-campus internships and post-graduation employment opportunities.  International students face many challenges including that all off-campus work must directly relate to a student’s major, start and end dates must correlate with terms, and many employers are reluctant to hire international students. The presenters will give an overview of different types of work authorization, the process, restrictions, how you can help international students with their careers, and will answer all of your questions.  An email with the link to join the event will be sent via swap-news. All faculty and staff are welcome.
