In the last 2 years my focus has been improving the students' life style in different means, and this year, we as your ISA want to do it even louder and more effective.

The reason I joined ISA is because I want to make sure that students are aware of the resources available to them as well as the information they may need to navigate a foreign country more smoothly.

Mishthi Batra
Co-Vice President Communication
Hi Everyone, my name is Mishthi. I’m from Dubai and I’m in my first year of Bachelors in Psychology at U of A.
I joined the ISA because I wanted to be a part of a student group which makes students feel that someone has got their back while they pursue their endeavours miles away from home. It can be quite a daunting task to get accustomed to a completely new environment and ISA is here to make that very task a little easier for all international students.
Feel free to reach out to me for anything you may need!
