If 2020 was a beating leaving us bruised and battered, 2021 starts with healing and lots of hope for the patient’s full recovery. We need patience while the vaccine rolls out worldwide, but confidence that it will change our view of the pandemic and reinvigorate international education. We wish each of you a very happy 2021 and may this year be the year that brings us all a little closer, kinder and more joyful.

A Closer Look at the COVID-19 Vaccines

The first vaccines are out and there are a number of questions that students and administrators are asking. Which vaccines have been approved? Who is eligible and how is it being rolled out?

Navigating the US Healthcare System During Covid-19

As students return to classes this month, the US is experiencing its third wave of Covid-19 across the country. As schools across the country prepare, it’s important that students understand their international student health insurance and how to navigate the US healthcare system. ISI created a short orientation video that schools can share with their students. This video will walk students through the process of seeking medical care, Covid-19, and health insurance.
