The ISLC acts as a liaison between students and faculty, works to organize events, listens to student opinions and recommendations, and&nbsp;works to publicize news, information, and opportunities across campus and around the world. They also have the chance to share their thoughts on and experiences with the International Studies Program at Hopkins. To be eligible to join, you must be a declared International Studies major or a first-year student intending to declare a major in International Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISLC also coordinates the International Studies Program membership with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcfausa.org\/\">Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs<\/a>.&nbsp; As a member of the BCFA, International Studies majors are entitled to the following privileges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Attendance to all programs free of charge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invitations to all &#8220;dutch treat&#8221; Leadership Dinners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receipt of a quarterly newsletter and notification of each program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guaranteed reservations for all events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guest privileges for all programs and Leadership Dinners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Substitution privileges for all programs and Leadership Dinners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the BCFA or to attend one of their events, contact the ISLC leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-heritage-blue-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-heritage-blue-background-color has-background\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">advISor Mentorship Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISLC&#8217;s advISor Mentorship Program was created in fall 2020 as a way to give more experienced International Studies majors the opportunity to become mentors to first-year pre-majors and new transfer students. Mentees can also be any other student majoring in or seriously considering majoring in International Studies who believes having a mentor could enhance their undergraduate experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentors provide academic, professional, and extracurricular guidance to mentees on a regularly scheduled basis or when called upon by their mentee. Through this venture, the International Studies Program hopes to maintain its enriching and cohesive identity whether it be in a virtual or in-person setting. International Studies majors interested in becoming a mentor and prospective majors wanting to be mentored should fill out the advISor Mentorship Program application by <strong>August 28, 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/jh.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_6ilydxiZvu7AuQl\"><strong>APPLY HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-heritage-blue-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-heritage-blue-background-color has-background\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2025-2026 ISLC Leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roseliane Corona, Co-President<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Justin Wu, Co-President<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Events Committee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Krisna Kumar, Chair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marketing Committee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advika Agarwal, Chair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foreign Affairs Review (FAR) International Studies Journal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Julia Schager, Editor-in-Chief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Janice Lin, Assistant Editor-in-Chief<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mentorship and Professional Development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lily Eddy, Chair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Studies Leadership Council (ISLC) is comprised of students who work directly with the program director and associated faculty with the purpose of bringing greater unity and direction to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1128,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","_ecp_custom_2":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1117","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1117"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8350,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1117\/revisions\/8350"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/internationalstudies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
