Welcome to the International Students Connections Community!

The Career Center recognizes that Villanovans have different interests and priorities as well as challenges navigating the career development process as they explore the world of work. This space compiles resources that may be of special interest to international students, international alumni and all those interested in engaging with the international student community. Students, alumni and employers can connect through networking, professional development and educational events and programming. We will continually develop this community as we become aware of additional opportunities to advance the growth of all members of our community.
