Message from the President - Hartwick College

International Student Advising
Students from other countries form an integral part of the Hartwick College
community and the Global Pluralism Initiative. The international student
advisor’s office in SLCI, which is overseen by the associate director for
International Programs, is responsible for providing logistical support to students
from abroad, developing orientation programs and other activities to help them
become part of the Hartwick and Oneonta communities and assisting students
with their immigration status. This office also provides support for visiting faculty
from abroad.
The office advises Hartwick’s International Club (which includes American and
international members) and arranges lectures, conferences, socials and joint
programs with various College constituencies, as well as assisting in Hartwick’s
participation in the Harvard National Model United Nations. In addition to
serving as a primary institutional resource on international student policy matters,
the associate director works closely with the Office of Admission on international
student enrollment issues, with Student Life on retention and social integration
issues, and with Academic Center for Excellence on international students’
educational progress.
