Engaging International Students & Spouses

 

Engaging International Students & Spouses (EIS) aims to assist international students, scholars and spouses in their transition into the Ames and Iowa State University communities by building a network of support, offering helpful resources and organizing enriching workshops.

 

Through a supportive network, international students and spouses are able to make social connections, link to community resources, and share experiences. The program includes educational workshops such as GRE, TOEFL classes, and resume and cover letter building, as well as recreational and fun activities such as outdoor tours to Reiman Gardens, craft making, game night, and much more!!
