d say coming to the United States and especially being part of this mmunity was one of my best decisions. Certainly, Menlo is helping e in a lot of my academic and personal life. I am going to take a nance degree and planning to work after graduation for some time to arn experience from Silicon Valley. Most of my friends are athletes in he college and with them, I train a lot, so for those who don’t know uch about Menlo, it will be full of surprises coming for you!

Time zone: CST UTC+8

I’m a senior from Brazil, a finance major, and I am a part of the men’s volleyball team. I chose Menlo because of how sports-oriented it is, the number of international students, and because it gives me a high-quality education. Also, I love playing sports.

However, when the global pandemic forced the campus to shut down and international students returned home mid-semester (or ⎯ Time zone: UTC-3 hunkered down in nearly-empty residence halls), Menlo needed to ⎯ Hobby: Volleyball (play in the team) find new and creative ways to support students suddenly hundreds https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bV_DjoidBzSjzWeOQ2W... or thousands of miles—and many time zones—away.

I choose Menlo to be around Silicon Valley and start my company. I was involved in multiple clubs and I want to be able to take my company public someday. My hobby is to meet new people and write. I like to fly planes and I am getting a license soon. I am an avid reader in Crypto and passion economy space.

In August 2020, the college’s five Designated School Officials (DSOs)—Priscila de Souza, Rey Penate, Tess Rewick, Dylan Houle and Kelly Davis—convened a standing monthly meeting to strategize new ways to support international students, share student feedback, and track relevant travel restrictions and federal government updates. So, what has this DSO team done and what are they working on?

Planned a dynamic series of workshops and events focused on the priorities and challenges facing international students. In March, Sprintax, a tax preparation software company, delivered an information session on how to file taxes as a non-resident. For Career Connect Day, Celina Husung ’21 (Germany) moderated an alumni panel discussion on post-graduation pathways for international students. And in April, students were invited to a Q&A session with immigration attorney Nadia Yakoob. More events are being planned for next year.

5/28/21, 1:55 PM

As the college looks ahead to the next academic year and beyond, the DSO team will be front and center in advocating for international students and alumni. If you are a graduate interested in supporting current students, or if you are a current student with ideas and suggestions, please email the DSO team at iss@menlo.edu.
