International Graduate Student Orientation
To help ease the transition into the Marriott School for international students, the Global Management Center hosts an International Graduate Student Orientation. You must attend this orientation, even if you have lived in the United States before. Orientation addresses career advisement, international student services, and other topics specific to international students. The objective of the International Graduate Student Orientation is to help you thrive in your first year as a Marriott School graduate student. In addition to the orientation, the Global Management Center holds several help sessions where staff members will answer any questions you may have about the Marriott School, Provo, or life in the United States. Please read the Orientation Guide before you come to the help session. 2011 Tenative IGSO Schedule
