International Students Association in Kazakhstan
International Students Association (ISA) is a student-run organization which is established by students, for students. We are the representatives of the international student population in Almaty, Kazakhstan who are dedicated to focusing on student-related transnational and global affairs. We believe in enriching unity within the international community by promoting intercultural communication without any national, racial, or gender barriers.
We started with just a handful of people back in 2021 but now we are thriving with passionate and hard-working students. Students who want only the best and are willing to work hard for it. There are several branches in the ISA which come together as a unit and put their hearts and souls into successfully organizing social and cultural events and various other activities throughout the year. We try to make sure that your university life is the best that it can be. Stay tuned for future events!
