Get together with like-minded students and join a student group.
The UCLA International Institute Student Association (IISA) is the official organization representing students of the International Institute at UCLA. The purpose of IISA is to promote awareness of international issues as well as to represent the International Institute students of UCLA and strengthen its degree programs.
To achieve these ends, they provide an open forum for discussion and various social and academic activities for members. They inform students through workshops, guest speakers, meetings, and career and internship opportunities. As the student body of the International Institute, IISA will provide a supportive foundation for members to connect, interact and share ideas, and they welcome all students who have interest in international issues.
Once you've joined IISA, consider joining others that suit your interests as well. There are hundreds of groups on campus that are looking for new members and the Institute maintains a page with student groups with an international interest.
