Are you an International Student Interested in a Leadership Position? Apply Now for ISU Officer Positions!

Posted: 03 Aug 2018 12:39 PM PDT

Leadership positions are available with the UMD International Student Union for 2018-19. The International Student Union (ISU) was created in fall of 2014 by two BSOS students to encourage the UMD student body to embrace its diversity and help international students easily integrate into the UMD community.


All officers are expected to attend one monthly meeting in person and one monthly meeting remotely. Open positions include:
  • Vice President for Financial Security – develop a directory of scholarships open to international students (BSOS offers ten!) and suggest additions to the list of current budget-friendly resources. Appropriate for organized students interested in doing informal research. 
  • Vice President for Marketing and Recruitment – use your graphic design and communication skills to draw more attention to the ISU and to expand its membership. Possible ideas include chalking, advertising in the Student Involvement Suite or on the UMD Shuttle Buses. What are your marketing ideas? ISU also plans to start an Instagram account in September. Appropriate for a creative and outgoing student.
  • Vice President for Social Connection/Cross-Cultural Understanding – assist with plans for a panel of seasoned students giving tips to new students and an outing to DC in the fall, as well as a spring international fashion show. What additional ideas do you have for fun, inexpensive and inclusive events? Appropriate for an outgoing student.

Interested? Email Kathryn Hopps, ISU Co-Advisor, khopps@umd.edu to learn more about officer duties.
