Group Training
International Programming hosts group training sessions at the beginning of every semester for interested students. This gives the opportunity for students to share ideas with each other as they go through the short training with an ISSB coordinator. Besides group training, we also arrange private training sessions for students who join ISSB throughout the year.

Benefits of Joining ISSB
ISSB is a volunteer program that does not give any type of class credit or certification, but it does provide opportunities for you to meet with the greater Oklahoma community. You may have the opportunity to travel to small towns in Oklahoma and other neighboring schools and organizations. This program allows you the opportunity to learn more about Oklahoma and American life, as well as the chance to share you culture with Americans. In addition, some international scholarships and other privileges are reserved just for ISSB students.
