International Student Services

International Student Services (ISS) at Barnard is dedicated to serving the needs of F-1 and J-1 visa students, and also serves as a resource for self-identified international students at the College. ISS provides a wide array of services to new, continuing and visiting international students. An integral part of Access Barnard, ISS develops year-round academic, cultural and social programming and serves as a global resource for the larger Barnard community.

Support for international students is provided by the Director of International Students, Valerie Monaco, and the Senior Advisor, Joanna (Chi-Hsin) Kang. Additionally, the office counts on a graduate assistant and a team of global ambassadors to facilitate programming and services.

International Student Services is a unit within Access Barnard, located in Milbank 119. ISS can be reached by phone at 212.854.1777 and by email at iss@barnard.edu
