International Working Group

The International Working Group meets regularly to discuss issues affecting Columbia's international students, faculty, and researchers. IWG works closely with ISSO to address emergent issues and provide information and guidance to schools and the international community. The group has closely tracked incoming international student data (including I-20 issuance and visa appointments, processing, and approval) to forecast fall enrollment, and encourage more engagement with incoming international students.
