About Us

International Ambassadors at Georgia Tech (GTIA) is an organization dedicated to supporting Georgia Tech students, both international and domestic. Our tight-knit organization has roughly 60 members from over 20 nations and five continents, and together we work to celebrate our student body’s diversity and internationality by providing resources for international students and hosting multiple cultural festivities throughout the year. Our talented and hardworking members love to connect with students -- past, present, and future -- to make Georgia Tech a welcoming and diverse environment for everyone.
