Under the leadership of Dean Wayne and Victoria Dolce, the International Student Council (ISC) was formed to provide a direct line for listening to concerns and sharing ideas for improving the international student experience at the University of Florida. Members are from all over the world and represent diverse degree programs, both graduate and undergraduate. The ISC met for the first time in Spring 2023 and provides valuable input and suggestions to implement in future semesters for the benefit of all international students at UF.
The purpose of the UFIC ISC is to
-
be a voice for UF international students within Gainesville and around the state;
-
enrich the international student experience through ongoing communication with governing bodies at UF such as the International Center, Student Government, and university administration; and
-
promote cross-cultural understanding and exchange within the campus and Gainesville communities.
To ensure consistent and transparent decision-making and governance, we have provided the bylaws here.
