On-Campus Resources for DEIB

Moving to a new country and getting to know a different culture all while trying to focus on your studies can be challenging. Here at the Office of International Students and Scholars, we know that to get the best out of your Yale experience, you don't just need a smooth immigration process but also a community that makes you feel like you truly belong. Luckily, there are many opportunities right here on campus for you to find life-long friends, learn new skills, and receive the support you need to succeed.

And don't forget to check out the OISS event calendar [1] to stay up-to-date on everything happening in our building on 421 Temple Street!
