“Completing the International Plan was the best decision I made during my time at Georgia Tech, not only for my education, but also for my career. As a student, it gave me the perfect vehicle to realize
my goal of speaking French fluently by providing a safe and organized program with people who are always willing to help. I
have a level of cultural awareness and travel ability that continues to enrich my career as a Data & Analytics Modeler,
where I am able to work comfortably and efficiently with people of all different backgrounds.”

“My study abroad experience in Europe this past summer was easily the most memorable and exciting summer of my life. After this summer, I am much closer to my goal of becoming an
international citizen who can understand how business works globally and apply my
business degree at Tech to the ever-changing and growing international
business community of today.”
-Lane McAree, Business Administration, Oxford Summer Program

Excellence in advising remains high priority
• The 2016-2017 academic year included heightened visa and immigration vetting and enforcement, government processing delays, and three Executive Orders impacting visas and travel. International Student and Scholar Advisors prioritize staying informed about the changing policies to provide accurate and timely guidance to students about a range of immigration and visa issues.
• Most frequent advising topics: employment benefits, travel preparations, academic and immigration documentation changes.
• 7,905 advising walk-in sessions and appointments provided by eight International Student and Scholar Advisors. 90% of advising survey respondents rated services as ‘highest satisfaction’ for advisor knowledge and respect.
• “The advisor was very kind and understanding of my concerns and answered all of my questions clearly and concisely, exactly what I was hoping for.”
