Hi everyone! I’m Lucy Yang, a sophomore double majoring in sociology and business management.  In my spare time, I like to do volunteer, go swimming, and watch movies.  I am a big fan of “ The Big Bang theory”, so if you want to discuss anything about it, come find me! Being an international student, too, I can feel the same way you do on campus. No matter what you are currently experiencing, we are here to support you, and whenever you need help, we will try our best to help you get through it. I hope this blog can be a useful resource for all of you, and please reach out for me if you ever need anything for help! 😀 ( remember you are not alone)  

Hi! I’m Naoki, and I come from Japan. Nice to meet you. I’m an IEC student now. It’s my first time coming to NY, so, everything is new for me. I’m looking forward to talking with all of you.

Hello, there! My name is Matya, and I was born and raised here in America, so I have created this blog to link International students to the community here at Stony Brook. I have had the opportunity to study abroad, and I understand that being in a foreign country can be difficult, so I hope this resource will be helpful, and interesting, to everyone who reads it. Please take advantage of it! I love meeting new people, and learning about other cultures and languages, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to just talk!

We are always open to new suggestions and ideas, so if you have something you’d like to contribute, comment on one of our posts or send us a message on the ISO Facebook page!
