Opportunities for Campus and Community Involvement with New International Students

International Student Mentor Association

The International Student Mentor Association (ISMA) is a student organization at Texas A&M University comprised of a diverse group of students (international, American, undergraduates, graduates, male and female). ISMA gained student activities recognition in spring 2006 and has since helped many international students adjust to life at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX and the United States. Our organization’s members referred to as International Student Mentors (ISMs) lend their helping hands to new International students each semester. Starting with New International Student Orientation (NISO) and continuing into the semester with Continuing Conversations and other mentor activities, ISMs form relationships and provide valuable information to new international students. ISMs provide information ranging in the topics of cultural adjustment, living essentials, academic classes and expectations when helping new international students adjust during their first semester at Texas A&M University.

If working with new international students, learning about cultural diversity, socializing for enjoyment, and participating in cross-cultural communication interests you, ISMA would be a great organization for you to join.

Please visit the ISMA website at http://isma.tamu.edu  for more details about our organization. Recruiting takes place at the end of each semester and training for new ISMs is before New International Student Orientation.
