Programs and Resources | International Students and Scholars

ISSS runs events and programs designed to help our international students and scholars understand the responsibilities that arise and benefits they can receive from their visa status and generally adjust to life at The New School. Some of our ongoing events and programs are listed below.
For updates to event schedules and announcements of new programs and resources, always check the ISSS newsletters. All international students and scholars are automatically registered to receive the ISSS newsletters in their New School email accounts. For questions related to ISSS events and programs, contact issevents@newschool.edu.
- Events for J-1 Professors and Scholars
  
  The New School is proud to sponsor a talented group of J-1 professors and scholars each semester. To help these professors and scholars adapt to life in New York City and understand the requirements of their J-1 status, ISSS hosts special events throughout the year, including international scholar orientations, social gatherings, and networking events. For more information on these and other events, be sure to check your New School email for event updates and invitations from ISSS or contact issevents@newschool.edu with any questions.
- United Nations Tours
  
  Each year, ISSS offers discounted rates for an excursion and group tour of the United Nations Headquarters office in New York City. Event dates and sign-up information are announced in the ISSS newsletter. Limited spaces are available for sign-up.
  In the guided tour, international students and scholars can explore the United Nations Headquarters by:
  Visiting the General Assembly Hall, the Security Council Chamber, the Trusteeship Council Chamber, and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Chamber
  Learning how the United Nations addresses issues such as disarmament, peace and security, and human rights and how international students and scholars can support the Sustainable Development Goals
- One To World
  
  ISSS is a registered member of One To World, a private New York–based not-for-profit organization that brings Americans and international students face-to-face to share their experiences and perspectives in life-changing ways.
  Dedicated to the promotion of global understanding, One To World creates opportunities for cultural, social, and intellectual interchange between international visitors — students, Fulbright scholars, trainees, and their families — and residents of the New York metropolitan area. Check out One To World's program calendar for upcoming events and activities taking place in and around New York City.
