About Our Team

Office of International Services

The advisors and volunteers within the Office of International Services (OIS) are committed to NC State University’s global mission and vision. Join OIS as they help prepare world citizens and develop global leaders here in North Carolina. Regardless of whether one is overseas or in Raleigh, a student or a teacher, and regardless of one’s cultural and linguistic background, OIS strive to be the number one resource for its international community and a catalyst for North Carolina residents to expand their global horizons.
