The mission of the Office of International Programs is to support, promote and advance an international dimension on the Leeward campus and facilitate a greater appreciation of cross-cultural relations and international issues in order to prepare students to become global citizens. The International Programs staff is here to help you succeed—not only in your studies, but also in your adjustment to living in the United States. We want to see all our international students reach their academic and personal goals. The Office of International Programs offers a wide range of services to international students on campus, including an international student orientation for new students, visa information and counseling, and social activities designed to help you make friends and enjoy your experience in the United States.
