Friendship

Longtime AMIS volunteers Nadeen and Ned recently had breakfast to celebrate the 25th anniversary of friendship with their 2001 Amigos! That makes us so very happy to see! Nadeen is even wearing the same sweater in both pictures! #InternationalFriendship #amisatlanta #25YearsOfFriendship

We’re sending a big thank you to Nurlana Akhundova from Azerbaijan. Nurlana, a #Fulbright Visiting Researcher at @georgiastateuniversity, spoke at the 48th Welcome Reception about her experience with AMIS and her journey to Atlanta. We’re so grateful to have her participation and friendship!

Last month, AMIS hosted our 48th AMIS Welcome Reception at CODA Plaza! With just over 200 people, including international students from 26 countries along with AMIS volunteers and friends, this event was an afternoon of fun, friendship, and connection. Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this event a success including Jesse Hancock, Heidy Brusitus, Roti Chakraborty, Sujay Galen, Shivam Kumar, Iris Pi, Cara Hendsbee, Misty Whitlock, Paula Peche, Sandy McQueen, Andy Su, Lia Wright, Kirk Keene, Eboni McNeal, Nadeen Green, Ned Cone, Victoria Dorsey, the Kesler Family, Alona Piatnytska & Camille Kesler. Check out the link in our bio to watch a short video recap from this fun event!

Christmas International House (CIH) is a special program for U.S. international students and scholars to experience friendship and hospitality with an American host community during winter break. Through CIH, international students throughout the U.S. are able to travel and explore a new city, experience what it is like to live in an American home, and develop life-changing friendships. Christmas International House takes place in St. Augustine, Florida for two weeks during the holidays. It’s so much fun and students create memories to last a lifetime!
