Welcome International Families!
Family Resource Center Pre-Arrival Planning & Resource Guide
The Family Resource Center has put together a resource guide for international families to help parenting students, employees, and visitors plan for arrival, navigate life in Corvallis, and access available resources at OSU and within the wider community.
See our "Tips for International Families" page that accompanies the guide and provides additional information.
