Join Life in Iowa and International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) for a comprehensive virtual Optional Practical Training (OPT) workshop to learn about eligibility, application steps, and key timelines.

Applying for OPT is an important step toward working in the U.S. after graduation, and this workshop will help you navigate the process with confidence. The event will begin with an overview of the OPT application process followed by a live Q&A with Kevin Roiseland, assistant director, SEVIS management, in International Student & Scholar Services.

Whether you're a first-year student or preparing to graduate soon, all international students are encouraged to attend.
