About Us
ISSS Director's Welcome
Dear International Students and Scholars,
On behalf of the ISSS team, I welcome you to San Jose State University (SJSU), San Jose, California and the United States. Thank you for joining our vibrant and diverse community! We commend you on your decision to take steps to continue your education and/or research outside of your home country. You are taking the initial steps in becoming more globally engaged and a global citizen.
Please know that all of us at International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) are
here to support you throughout your time here at SJSU and beyond. Our goal, on a daily
basis, is to ensure your success and make certain you are feeling well supported.
As such, please don’t hesitate to reach out at any point in time. We acknowledge and appreciate the diversity of thought, innovativeness and the cultural
enrichment you bring to an already diverse campus. The ISSS team of international
educators and I very much look forward to serving your immigration and programming
needs and enhancing your experience at SJSU. I hope to meeting each and every one
of you during your stay here. Once again, welcome to the Spartan family.
Sincerely,
Parinaz Zartoshty, Ed.D., Senior Director, Global Programs and Services
