Chat Box for Virtual Advising Gets New URL in Website Refresh

You may have noticed that the ISS homepage looks a little different.  We did some reorganizing of our content with the goal of helping you find information more easily.

The virtual advising chat box has been relocated to a new webpage and remains active, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 11am to 1pm.

If you’re having trouble finding information that you have bookmarked, please feel free to contact ISS and we’ll be glad to point you in the right direction.
