<strong>Bechtel</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> operates from the<br />
belief that international<br />
educational exchange nurtures<br />
a lifelong global perspective<br />
and aspires to play a key role in<br />
increasing <strong>Stanford</strong>’s visibility<br />
around the world, strengthening<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong>’s position as a global<br />
university of consequence.<br />
• We provide information about<br />
and assistance with obtaining and<br />
maintaining legal status in the U.S.<br />
to foreign students, scholars, and<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> departments.<br />
• We contribute to international<br />
activities at <strong>Stanford</strong> by helping to<br />
create a welcoming and supportive<br />
environment that is responsive<br />
to the needs of the international<br />
community.<br />
• We enable foreign students, scholars<br />
and their family members at <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
to receive maximum academic,<br />
cultural and personal benefit from<br />
their stays in the U.S.<br />
• We advise U.S. students who are<br />
pursuing scholarships for study and<br />
research abroad.<br />
• We provide opportunities for<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> students, faculty, staff, and<br />
members of our local community to<br />
broaden their horizons by interacting<br />
with people from different cultures<br />
through programs to increase<br />
international awareness and<br />
understanding.<br />
