The International Affairs Student Organization is the undergraduate International Affairs student club which strives to promote cultural awareness within INTA by engaging in a mixture of social and academic events. Members of this group also pair off and serve as advisors to incoming freshmen.
Mock Trial is an intercollegiate competition in which students have the opportunity to learn about trial work, to understand the judicial system, to develop critical and analytical thinking skills, and to enhance communication skills. Students portray lawyers and witnesses in a trial setting. Hosted by the School of Public Policy, in the 2004-2005 season the Mock Trial team was runner-up in the National Championship Tournament held at the end of every season. This successful program is always looking for new talent: https://www.georgiatechmocktrial.com/.
Georgia Tech Model United Nations Conference
GTMUN is an entirely student-run, two day conference that bring international affairs to high school students in the Southeast. By assuming the role of a state’s diplomatic representative and working under an explicit procedure in simulated sessions of various UN committees, students are able to take a global perspective on world events. As the student delegates interact in their roles as ambassadors to the UN, they make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate, and attempt to collectively solve the world’s most pressing problems. Model UN truly provides students with an opportunity to put into action the principles of international politics that they are taught in the classroom and see occur in the world everyday.
The Nunn School also supports a Tech Model UN Team, which represents GT at annual conferences. Participating students will develop a better understanding of international affairs and come together with students from all over the world, thereby preparing to be effective as global leaders in the future.
Ambassadors are International Affairs undergraduate and graduate students who meet with prospective students to answer questions, take to classes, give mini tours, and recruit to Georgia Tech. They get to share with prospective students some of the things that they like most about Tech, especially as an INTA student. Ambassadors are a great group that serve to represent INTA both on and off campus.
SIR is the National Honors Society for exceptional INTA students, that promotes and rewards scholarship and service among students of international affairs, and fosters integrity and creative performance in the conduct of world affairs.
