Get Involved
International students are encouraged to get involved on campus and in the Atlanta community. Involvement develops leadership and networking skills, improves English, allows you to share your culture and creates life-long memories. Each semester, ISSS and ISAC, in collaboration with other offices and units at Georgia State, develop a variety of international student programming to celebrate cultural diversity and promote engagement and social networking within the Georgia State community. Please see the opportunities below for more details.
