ABOUT US

What is the International Student Assembly?

The International Student Assembly (ISA) is one of the largest student­ run assemblies at USC. It serves as an umbrella organization to a majority of the nationality clubs on campus, working closely with the Undergraduate Student Government , member organizations and the Office of International Services, to actively promote the international community on campus.

Some of our past events include Travel with ISA , International Food Fair and Globefest. These events involve heavy participation, and subsequently, representation by a majority of our member organizations and those involved with the international community. In addition, member organizations of ISA are entitled to take advantage of the support we can give to them in terms of publicity and funding for ethnic and cultural events showcased for the USC population.

We welcome participation in this dynamic community, currently represented by over 25 different countries, through the member clubs themselves or through your leadership in different sub­committees and also the Executive Board. The 2021 - 2022 academic year promises to be one of the most dynamic and yet ethnically diverse years at USC to date. We are proud to be among those at the forefront during these times.
