AMIS is a great organization for international students. Studying abroad is challenging and as an international student I found a lot a support with AMIS. The Amigo program and the various events helped me to meet new people and discover the American culture. Thank you so much!

I have been a volunteer for many years. This is the most rewarding, fulfilling activity. Students are amazing!

Amazing place to meet friends from all over the world who will give you the experiences of their countries and their culture. I enjoyed networking while attending AMIS events.

It takes a village. This is why I’ve been a supporter of AMIS programs over the 20+ years I’ve worked in international education. AMIS has been an important longstanding community partner to Atlanta area college and university educators. International students and scholars who chose Atlanta as their new home receive a warm welcome from AMIS. All parties involved benefit from the opportunity to make new friends and have a window to the world.
