Commemorating Milestones: 40 Years of ISSO Excellence and 10 Years of International Center Impact at UTD 

Exciting news! This year, the International Center is celebrating not one but two significant milestones – the ISSO hitting its 40th anniversary of certification to sponsor F-1 international students and the International Center is turning a fabulous 10 years old. 

ISSO: 40 Years of Unwavering Support 

For four decades, the ISSO has been the reliable support system for the immigration needs of our international students. Navigating the complexities of immigration rules and easing the challenges of being so far from home – the ISSO has been the unsung hero ensuring our global community feels at home at UTD. The ISSO is not just an office; it is the silent force behind our diverse and vibrant global student population. 

International Center: A Decade of Global Impact 

With the mission to ‘bring the world to UT Dallas, and UT Dallas to the world,’ over the past decade, the International Center has been the epicenter of global experiences at UTD including study abroad opportunities, international exchanges and partnerships, and immigration support that broaden horizons without leaving campus. 

The International Center has been a pivotal player in creating an atmosphere that defines the global UTD experience.
