The Graduate International Student Association at Northwestern University is the ‘home away from home’ for all the graduates on campus. At G-ISA, we unite the vibrant community of international graduate students through a tapestry of cultural exchanges and a shared journey of academic excellence.
Our mission is simple yet profound: We weave together diverse international narratives, fostering a mosaic of friendships and intellectual growth. Through events teeming with joy and discovery, we not only embrace the fun side of academic life but also build lasting connections that span the globe. We are a crucible for cross-cultural understanding, where every international student contributes to the dialogue, enriches the community’s cultural fabric, and finds a voice. By fostering an inclusive environment, we empower our members to engage fully, share their unique perspectives, and thrive both in and out of the classroom.
Join us in crafting a journey of unforgettable experiences and connections that resonate far beyond our Northwestern chapter. Together, we are G-ISA—bridging cultures, forging friendships, and shaping the global leaders of tomorrow.
At the heart of the Graduate International Student Association is a vibrant array of activities designed to enrich the graduate experience at Northwestern University. Our carefully curated events are more than just gatherings—they are a celebration of our diverse community and the seasons that color our academic year.
We open the doors to a world of discovery with an eclectic mix of events, all free of charge for our members. Picture yourself exploring the wonders of Chicago on an immersive field trip, or nestled under the stars during a cozy bonfire night, the air rich with stories and laughter. Envision the thrill of a movie premiere with fellow cinephiles, or the shared awe at a live concert or theatrical show.
Each event is an opportunity to unwind, connect, and create memories that transcend the boundaries of the campus. Our calendar pulses with life, ensuring that there’s always something to look forward to. With G-ISA, every occasion is a chance to engage, enjoy, and be a part of something special. Join us, and be swept up in the magic of collective experience.
