Director (PDSO/ARO), Office of International Student Affairs
262 High Street, Fisk Hall Room 105, Suite 103
(860) 685-3031
Read MoreMorgan Keller serves as Director of the Office of International Student Affairs (OISA) and Wesleyan's principal designated school official (PDSO) for international students studying in F-1 visa status. He grew up in Mariposa (Spanish for “butterfly”), a small town in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains near beautiful Yosemite National Park. He received his bachelor’s degree from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon where he studied International Affairs and Communications and spent a semester abroad studying Italian and fine arts in Siena, Italy. His other formative international experiences include a Peace Corps service in Ecuador and an 8-year career teaching English as a foreign language in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan (his first 5 years with the JET Program). After returning from Japan, Morgan attended Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in Monterey, California where he completed a master’s degree program in International Education Management.
Prior to coming to Wesleyan, Morgan worked in International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) offices at UW-Madison in Wisconsin, Clemson University in South Carolina, and UC Santa Cruz in California. Professionally, his passions as an international educator center around holistically supporting and advocating for international students, scholars, and dependents; advancing campus internationalization through partnership-building and collaboration; and enabling accessible and impactful opportunities for global learning and intercultural experiences within and beyond higher education communities.
Morgan has presented at regional and national NAFSA: Association of International Educators conferences and the Workshop on Intercultural Skills Enhancement (WISE) Conference, completed the NAFSA Management Development Program (MDP), and served as the NAFSA Region XI Regulatory Ombuds for Student Issues for 2 years (2023-2024). He also participated in and completed the 2024-2025 NAFSA Executive Internationalization Leadership e-Institute as a member of the 4th cohort of this year-long program. He is currently serving as the NAFSA Region XI Connecticut State Representative, Co-Leader of Communications & Engagement for the NAFSA International Education Leadership Knowledge Community, a NAFSA Trainer Corps Core Education Program (CEP) Workshop Trainer, and a Regional Editor and Copy Editor for the Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education.
Unprofessionally, Morgan's passion is playing and watching soccer, or what most of the world logically calls “football.” His partner is Japanese and together they are raising their two daughters multilingually and multiculturally. 日本の方や日本語のできる方、ぜひOISAまで私に会いに来てくださいね!
