International Education Services (IES) is committed to courteous, accurate, timely service and informative programs for international students and visiting scholars, Americans seeking overseas opportunities, and citizens of Iowa interested in international education. IES staff members orient and advise internationals on university procedures, community resources, U.S. visas and personal concerns. Persons interested in study and/or work abroad find a wealth of information at the IES Study Abroad Center. The Center maintains information on scholarships, health and safety abroad, world cultures, and travel, as well as over 200 ISU programs and thousands of opportunities through other institutions. Staff assist not only students, but also faculty and staff traveling abroad. Project Assist provides logistical and other support to faculty developing new group study abroad programs. IES intercultural programs, such as the Culture Corps, Friendships International, Conversational English and activities developed with the International Student Council and dozens of international student organizations, bring international students and Americans together for mutual learning. We welcome volunteers to join these and other programs.
