The Ivanhoe International Center (IIC) was established at SDSM&T in the fall semester, 1994, through a generous gift by an alumnus, Mr. Lytton F. "Buster" Ivanhoe.  The IIC is located in the Surbeck Student Center, and is the center of international activities on campus.  A broad program of services is provided to international students. 

The IIC coordinates orientation sessions, the English as a Second Language joint program, social activities, computer facilities and services, community and campus outreach, and the provision of newspapers and literature from native countries.  The director is available to assist students with: United States Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS, formerly known as the INS) student matters; advocacy with all campus offices, organizations, and the surrounding community; housing inquiry referrals; federal income tax requirements; and the international student list serve.  The IIC also works with students who may wish to study abroad.  The Ivanhoe International Center is a department in the Division of Student Affairs.
