If you have a spouse or partner accompanying you in the US, please share this opportunity to join in for a meet and greet. This is a great opportunity for you to build community with each other and learn about other upcoming events and activities.

Please note, this meet & greet is intended for any spouse or partner of an NYU scholar or student. Children are welcome. 

This workshop is designed to give you a firm understanding of what OPT is (it's a form of work authorization for students in F-1 status), how to apply for OPT, the processing timeline, what documents you’ll need, travel advice, and reporting requirements. We also briefly cover tax, health insurance, and OPT extensions.

After you've received your new OPT I-20, you should attend this session where an OGS advisor will go over how to prepare your OPT application for USCIS. Attend this session to make sure your OPT application meets all the guidelines, before you submit it to USCIS!

Are you often unsure how to organize your various thoughts on the page? Are you worried about overwhelming your readers with too many ideas that don’t flow in a clear, logical order? In this workshop, we will discuss the difference between a simple essay structure, which risks redundancy, and a complex essay structure, where each idea purposefully leads to the next. We will then introduce several tools that writers use to structure their essays in a way that guides readers through the logical arc of their prose. At the end of the workshop, we will offer a chance to practice applying those tools to your own writing. You are invited to bring a recent essay draft.

In support of NYU's BeTogether initiative, we invite you to join us in a conversation about race and identity, specifically designed for students at NYU who grew up or spent some of their lives before NYU outside of the US. We'll discuss connection points international students can make between their own thoughts and experiences of race and racism to the existing discourse in the US. We'll also explore thoughts surrounding how international students of color experience racialization and racism.

Need writing support as finals near? Make an appointment with a writing consultant! You'll have a half hour slot to discuss the writing support you need and to get feedback on your work.

Holi is an ancient Hindu festival that takes place every spring (usually end of Feb/March). It’s all about new beginnings — Holi signifies the arrival of spring, the end of winter, the blossoming of love, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships.

Join us for a fun afternoon of color, music, Henna and Indian food!
