Sometimes the best way to get information is to talk to someone. OISS invites you to participate in our video chat answer sessions. Led by OISS staff, these sessions are intended for you to ask questions before you arrive on campus.
OISS uses Zoom to host these online sessions. You can participate using your computer, or just phone in. You are not required to have video or a camera to listen. You do not need any special equipment.
