About ISA (International Student Association) just let me tell you that is a new group of young students that are part of the IMBA Program here in STUT. Since last semester we decided to create this group or association just in order to help all of the international students with any kind of problems or doubts about our Programs or just about our daily lives.

The main purpose of this group of students is just to have like a representation among the staff in STUT. We expect to be the channel between the students and our professors and administrative staff. We already have a sponsor professor, who is glad to help us and support us with all our activities as a ISA.

Now we will just like to ask you for your support and a little bit of your time to share with us all your ideas and suggestions. Also we are open to all of those students that will like to be a part of our association. Since all of the members now are senior.....in a few months we are going to leave STUT but we would like this association to keep going ahead every year since we consider this as a very helpful group of people.

So all of you guys are more than welcome to join the ISA and we would love to get all your support. Anything that you need just feel free to contact any of us.... In a few days we are going to plan a meeting just to talk about our plans for this first semester and he expects to see all of you guys there.

Now once more....WELCOME TO TAIWNA AND TO STUT We hope you like it and we are looking forward to have a good time with all of you.
