GW's International Student Career Ambassador (ISCA) Program provides peer-to-peer career advising for ALL international students, including graduate/professional students across all degree programs. The vision of the ISCA program is to supplement the career advising/coaching efforts of the GW Center for Career Services. The initial focus of the ISCAs is resume and cover letter critiques to help in
ternational students with basic, but important details of writing these documents effectively. The ISCA Program is made possible by the Shenkman Career Services Fund, sponsored by the Career Services Council in partnership with the W. Scott Amey Career Services Center in SEAS and GW Center for Career Services.
*Important: Though the ISCA Program operates in the SEH building on campus, the program services ALL international students on campus. MEET THE ISCAs -
