International Student Services

At Elmhurst we value the diversity of our campus community and strive to connect our international students both with each other and with their American counterparts through a variety of on- and off-campus academic and social programs. We also provide individual advising, as well as workshops and seminars aimed at guiding them through the maze of government immigration regulations.

Our international students thrive in an environment of support that addresses their unique needs. In partnership with several student organizations, the CPE sponsors a variety of activities including intercultural retreats, ethnic dinners, cultural celebrations, international poetry readings and film festivals, community cultural exchanges, and regional and national conferences.
