The International Leadership Program is designed for students looking to enhance their leadership, communication and teamwork skills. It provides opportunities for your professional development while serving the ÃÛÌÒ½´community and the global community. It is open to ALL ÃÛÌÒ½´students - domestic, international, graduate and undergraduate.
It is the ISSS Office's goal for international students to have meaningful experience at ÃÛÌÒ½´and to help them navigate through all the available resources offered. ÃÛÌÒ½´is home to the International Leadership Program and leaders are always ready to offer advice about living in the U.S., answer any questions about resources off/on-campus, and be a guide.
Enhance your leadership skills through regular trainings, serve on projects that better the international student experience, and provide event support for in-person and virtual programs hosted by the International Student and Scholar Services Office.
