International Ambassadors at Georgia Tech
About
International Ambassadors at Georgia Tech (aka GTIA) is an organization founded by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in December 2012 as a student recruitment team, and currently is a chartered student organization with advisors in Undergraduate Admissions and the Office of International Education. We support prospective, admitted and enrolled international students throughout the year to help them transition smoothly to Georgia Tech. In addition, we host events on campus to celebrate diversity and champion inclusion and benefit international students (such as our Night Market, Language Cafes, Culture Fest and more). Through these initiatives, We bring Georgia Tech to the World, and the World to Georgia Tech.
Our mission for the organization:
1. To promote an accurate and holistic view of the Georgia Institute of Technology globally, in support of efforts by the Office of Undergraduate Admission. We help to increase the number of talented and qualified international students applying to the Georgia Institute of Technology and, subsequently, encourage admitted international students to enroll at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
2. To aid incoming international students in engaging with the Georgia Institute of Technology community, to push for their early personal growth, and to preserve and increase the Institute’s diversity.
3. To engage the general student body at the Georgia Institute of Technology in events and activities that promote international culture and diversity, in support of efforts by the Office of International Education.
