The Office of Intercultural Support (OIS) works with students of diverse backgrounds to build and establish community at The New School. The OIS offers individual counseling services and sponsors events and workshops to promote intercultural awareness.

The staff works closely with recognized student organizations as well as the Student of Color Network, Basically for Women, and the University Diversity Committee. The OIS also oversees the functions of the Higher Education Opportunity Program and the student Ombuds office. We believe that in honoring each other’s differences we reinforce our own personal freedom. OIS offers programs, workshops, services, and individual counseling to support and promote the varying world perspectives at The New School.
