International Student Advisory Council

Assembly of ISAC Leaders

International Student Advisory Council Overview

The International Student Advisory Council (ISAC) was established to improve support for and engagement with international students at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ (ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½).

The council includes undergraduate and graduate student representatives of the international student body who work on projects within the Office of International Student Resources and Engagement (OISRE) to hone their leadership skills and engage with the campus community to increase outreach and advocacy. 

In order for the ISAC to be truly representative of the international student body, OISRE selects applicants from across campus and as many of the various nationalities on campus as possible. 

Once the ISAC members are selected each year OISRE staff provides guidance and makes recommendations about the areas of focus, but also empowers members to suggest and investigate other opportunities. 

Program Goals

The ISAC will benefit international students, OISRE and the campus community in multiple ways:

  • Provide ideas, guidance, and/or advice to OISRE on topics including student engagement, event planning, communication strategies, etc. 
  • Develop deliverables each year that will support ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½â€™s international students
  • Create a new direct line of communication between OISRE staff and the university’s international students
  • Build trust in OISRE among the international student body
  • Facilitate relationships beyond international student’s home country and area of study 
  • Give international students a stronger voice at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½
