Who are we?
AIESEC is the world's largest student run organization. Our goal is to develop youth leadership by immersing students in global cultures, providing them with challenging experiences, and enabling them to create a tangible, social impact.What do we believe in?
We believe in international service learning, experiential learning and development, encouraging entrepreneurial mindsets, and global citizenship. We want you to experience these to enrich your experience.

We are working with the College of Liberal Arts to identify what programs are best for you. Some of our popular programs focus on environmental sustainability & awareness, women empowerment, education, social empowerment, and social marketing for NGOs.
