Are you interested in gaining real-world experience in your field of study after graduation?  Join the Office of International Affairs to learn more about Optional Practical Training (OPT) - a valuable opportunity for F-1 students to work off-campus in a position related to your major and develop skills, experience and networks to advance your life and career goals. During this workshop, you’ll learn about initial 12-month OPT, OPT STEM extension, the application process, and how to maintain F-1 status during OPT. 

Recent alumni will share their OPT experiences, and OIA advising staff will respond to questions.
