International Student Advisory Board

The International Student Advisory Board (ISAB) provides counsel and constructive feedback concerning the general effectiveness of international programs and services offered by the Office of Intercultural Relations (OIR) and other university departments. The ISAB not only offers suggestions for improving current programs and services, but also makes recommendations for new initiatives. ISAB feedback and recommendations will assist the Division of Student Engagement and Enrollment Services, and particularly OIR, in providing excellent programs and services for international students. Upon request, the ISAB will also meet and provide feedback and counsel to other departments within the university.
