Welcome!

We’re so glad you’re here!

The Office of International Student Advocacy (OISA) is the newest office established by the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW). We are here to support, advocate for, and celebrate the diverse international community at UW. We recognize that studying in a different country comes with its own unique experiences, opportunities, and challenges, and we want every international student to know that they have a community here that understands and supports them.

Whether it’s helping students find resources, bringing people together through events, or advocating for issues that directly affect international students, we’re committed to make a meaningful difference in their experience at UW. Above all, we strive to create a campus where international students feel a real sense of belonging and understand that their voice matters, both within the UW community and beyond.
