What proposed activities does your club intend to host?:
We place a heavy emphasis on professional development and community philanthropy in order to transform current international studies students into tomorrows leaders. To that end, members participate in a wide range of programs and activities that enhance their learning experience outside of the classroom, and prepare them for successful careers upon commencement. We intend to host speakers, seminars, informational interview opportunities, and provide services that students may utilize to pursue their individual academic and career interests in international studies, including but not limited to a professional database, list of local events and opportunities, and avenues for scholarship.
