Get Involved

There are many ways for our international students to get involved, including these opportunities

Opportunities to Get Involved

International House

The International House program at Illinois State University serves the needs of international students by providing a number of unique excursions, services, and experiences that allow international students to interact with domestic students and learn about American culture. International students can choose to live on the themed living-learning community floors in Manchester Hall, go on trips to Chicago or St. Louis, and/or participate in special internationally-themed events.

International Student Advisory Board

The International Student Advisory Board (ISAB) provides a direct line of communication between the Office of International Studies and Programs (OISP) and the international student community at Illinois State University. The ISAB is offered the opportunity to provide input on projects and services organized by OISP, and to discuss important issues impacting the international student community. The primary goal of the ISAB is to ensure that all projects, programs, and services provided to international students are focused on enhancing the overall experience of these students during their time at Illinois State University.

ISAB Meetings

ISAB Meetings will be regularly held on the fourth Thursday of every month, from 12pm to 1pm in the International House Lounge in 105 Vrooman Center. These meetings are free and open to all international students currently enrolled at ISU. An ISAB meeting agenda will be sent out through the International Student Listserv prior to each meeting so that students may provide feedback, even if they are unable to take part in the meeting.

ISAB Meeting Dates to be decided.
