Allow Us to Introduce Ourselves
Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to the School of International Service. You’re already the kind of student who wants to meet global challenges head-on and work to make a positive difference in the world.
But life—and college—in the time of the novel coronavirus is a bigger challenge than we’ve ever faced. You probably have lots of questions, and because you’re an SIS student, you want to know more about what the coronavirus means for all aspects of our world—public health, global economy, security and technology, and more.
That’s why we’ve created our Summer Q&A series with SIS faculty. Each session, you’ll hear different faculty provide context and explanation for how COVID-19 is challenging our systems and making us think of things in new ways. And you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions in an informal setting. We hope you’ll join us!
Welcome to SIS!
Dean Christine BN Chin welcomes admitted students to the School of International Service!
