Who we are
We are the Office of International Cooperation (OIC). The Dean is Prof. Shu Chen.
OIC does four things: build international relations, help foreign students, manage exchange programs, planning for internationalization.
How We Can Help You: Scholarship Questions, Work Permits, Dorm Matters, Access to Language Class, Student Life Issues (logistics, making friends, etc).

You are not alone, but everyone is a bit different
Logistical questions – getting settled in, such as: buying books, taking the bus from dorm to class, cleaning laundry, where can I buy…?
Class questions – what courses to take, where to go? Getting help with a class.
Roommate and Food issues: “My roommate never sleeps!!” Or snores!! Where do I find beef?

What I Can Do For YOU I can assist solving your questions in three ways:
By providing direct assistance (individuals, groups).
By routing your question to the appropriated channel.
By helping you solve your problem or questions.
I facilitate between you, the problem and possible solutions. I can assist you to get familiar and more comfortable with your new environment and culture (culture shock?!), as well as deal with personal issues, communication problems and more.
