Student Organizations

The purpose of this organization shall be to promote and reward scholarship and service among students and practitioners of international studies, international affairs, and global studies and to foster integrity and creative performance in the conduct of world affairs.

"Membership in Sigma Iota Rho is intended not only to enhance the credentials of its members, though public recognition of the best and the brightest students in international studies is one of our main purposes, but is meant to encourage a life-long devotion to a better understanding of the world we live in and to continuing support for and engagement in education, service, and occupational activities that reflect the mission of Sigma Iota Rho.  In that way we do not limit ourselves to once-a-year pats on the back during the induction of new members, but internalize the belief that our purpose for studying international affairs is not only to position ourselves to succeed in a globalized society, but to make the world we live in a better place through our contributions in our work and day-to-day life.  
This work begins in our local chapters on the campuses where Sigma Iota Rho has a presence.   In this regard we hope you will “think globally, act locally” now and in the year’s ahead."

STUDENT ALLIANCE

The UNA-USA Student Alliance seeks to engage students by creating a nationwide network of motivated individuals, student advocacy groups, international affairs clubs, and Model UN teams who stand poised to collectively sound their voices and make their opinions heard amongst their peers, in their communities and across the nation.

On individual elementary, middle school, high school, and college campuses, Student Alliance Advisers mobilize others who want to be involved with the work of the United Nations. Participating groups conduct a wide range of activities that promote work of the United Nations. Student Alliance participants have opportunities to coordinate programs in their local community, network with UN dignitaries through UNA-USA's programs, including UNA-USA's Members Day at the UN, the National Forum on the United Nations, and even participate in UN meetings.
