ISSS Outreach

The ISSS team has developed many fruitful partnerships with Penn staff and administrators, as well as with agencies like the Social Security Administration and Customs and Border Protection. We collaborate with our internal and external partners to learn, to educate, and to develop the tools for international students' and scholars' successful integration into the Penn community and the United States.
