Office of International Affairs Mission Statement

The primary mission of the SDSU Office of International Affairs (OIA) is to foster an environment in which the university's many constituents—administrators, faculty, staff, students, residents of the local community and the state of South Dakota—have varied opportunities to gain appreciation, knowledge, and understanding of other cultures and global trends. OIA pursues this mission by:

• Facilitating the ability of constituents to travel, study, teach, and engage in international education projects around the world 
• Promoting outreach activities that disseminate international information and perspectives throughout the local region and South Dakota 
• Supporting the land-grant mission of SDSU by preparing graduates to have international and global perspectives

 

The Office of International Affairs and Outreach serves the entirety of the campus population: students, scholars, faculty and staff from the United States and around the world. Our main areas of work are in Study Abroad and International Students & Scholars Services. Please select a link at the left or click on one of those titles for more information.
