International Student Center

Support the Completion of Office and Center Remodel

The Office of International Student Relations and the International Student Center are the heart of the international student experience at ORU. They serve as the first point of contact for new international students — a home away from home where they receive guidance, encouragement, and community.

A portion of the remodel for these spaces has already been completed, including upgrades such as new carpet, partially added new furniture, and other basic facility improvements. However, there is still important work remaining to bring the entire project to completion. The spaces need updated furniture, design enhancements, and finishing touches that fully reflect ORU’s spirit of excellence and its vibrant international community.

Completing this remodel will demonstrate to our students that they are both valued and celebrated.

Project Goals

• Complete the remodeling of the International Student Relation offices and International Student Center with modern, functional, and welcoming design elements.
• Add updated furniture and technology to enhance communication, advising, and student programming.
• Incorporate international-themed graphics and murals that visually celebrate ORU’s global community and spiritual mission.
• Create flexible gathering spaces for community-building, events, and student support services.
