Established in 2012, the International Student Society is a diverse social group with more than 2,400 members. The club promotes a sense of community, learning, and understanding for Full Sail's International students. By providing a multitude of opportunities for students to connect and celebrate one another's cultures and traditions, ISS is a support system for students.
