#SoCaltech is an occasional series celebrating the diverse individuals who give Caltech its spirit of excellence, ambition, and ingenuity. Laura Flower Kim is associate director of International Student Programs (ISP). She and her co-workers provide support for Caltech's international students who need help with visas or immigration status. They work with degree students—bachelor's, master's, PhD—but also with nondegree students, including summer researchers and visiting graduate student researchers, as well as alumni. ISP also offers advising and intercultural programming.
