Coalition of International Students

Members Benefits

Membership in CIS provides a supportive and enriching environment for both individual students and affiliated student organizations. Individual members benefit from access to leadership roles, such as Executive Board or Director positions, as well as involvement in advocacy efforts, cultural programming, and professional development initiatives. Members are also eligible to participate in retreats, trainings, and leadership workshops, and may receive academic credit or stipends based on their role and level of engagement. For student organizations affiliated with CIS, membership offers increased visibility, access to collaborative programming opportunities, and the ability to vote on coalition decisions that shape our advocacy and cultural efforts. Member organizations are also supported through networking, funding referrals, and participation in university-wide events, including International Night and Welcome Week. Overall, CIS membership serves as a gateway to building meaningful connections, amplifying student voices, and fostering a more inclusive and globally aware campus community.
