In recognition of your incredible achievements, OISS is celebrating all graduating international students with both an in-person and a virtual graduation celebration event! Please join us for any or all of the following activities!
1) OISS Virtual Graduation Celebration
Friday, May 14th, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. via Zoom

(There will be no Virtual Office Walk-in Hours on Friday, as we'll be throwing a graduation party instead.)
To help make our Zoom celebration more festive, we have designed a few custom Zoom backgrounds that you can download below. This way you can still get your picture as a screenshot with our graduation banner, and even some OISS staff members if you'd like! Click on the image below to download a larger version.
(When using these backgrounds, make sure to unlick "Mirror my video" in the Zoom settings. Otherwise the words/numbers will appear backwards.)
2) OISS In-Person Graduation Celebration
Friday, May 14th, 3:15 - 4:15 p.m.
We will be hanging out in the small courtyard between Lovett Hall and Sewall Hall, where you can stop by and pick up a snack treat, write a note to your favorite OISS advisor, and let us congratulate you in person!
RSVPs are required due to COVID-19 protocols for on-campus events. Attendance is limited, so please sign up only if you believe you will be able to stop by! RSVP at https://riceuniversity.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3eCXM4BXmuKhEAm.
3) OISS Virtual Graduation Memento
OISS has prepared small, virtual graduation mementos for graduating international students. If you would like to receive one, please submit a request at https://bit.ly/2SXHLxD by Sunday, May 16th. These virtual mementos will be sent by email on Monday, May 17th.
