Programs for international spouses and partners

September Orientation Breakfast for International Spouses/Partners

On Thursday, September 4, 2008, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m., OISS is sponsoring an orientation breakfast for the spouses and partners of NYU international students and scholars. Children are welcome! At this all morning event, we invite speakers throughout the university, including continuing spouses and partners, to discuss such issues of concern as continuing education, work, health, and childcare. A resource table is available with information from many university offices. We encourage family members to attend since the event provides a valuable opportunity for them to meet each other, to share addresses and telephone numbers, and for those with children to form playgroups. This is event is free of charge, but reservations are required.
