Country-of-Origin Contact List
The Country-of-Origin Contact List is a resource offered to international students and resident students which lists the country of origin and contact information of participating faculty, administrators, and staff. The goal is to help our students find a faculty, administrator, or staff member on campus that is of the same nationality, is fluent in their native language and/or is familiar with the culture of the student's country of origin. Click here to view the Country of Origin Contact List. All students are welcome to contact any of the individuals on the list.
