The International Student Life Office within the Division of Student Affairs strives to serve as "An Archway to UGA" for international students as well as "An Archway to the World" for those seeking an international experience within the University and Athens communities. ISL offers numerous events, programs, and services that support international students as well as promote internationalization on the UGA campus including: orientation for new and transfer international students, a weekly coffee hour during the fall and spring semesters, international festivals, a peer mentor program, social and cultural opportunities to meet other students within the UGA community, cultural events, organizational advisement for thirty international and multinational groups, personal and crisis counseling/referral, and leadership development opportunities for both U.S. and international students. ISL programs and services provide cultural and educational opportunities for international and domestic students to interact and share their cultures with the University and Athens communities. Additionally, by volunteering and/or serving as a student leader with the ISL office, UGA students have the unique opportunity to develop intercultural leadership skills within an international setting. Please contact the office for more information about specific events, leadership opportunities, as well as how to get involved with ISL.
