Intensive English Language Institute Student Association (IELISA)

IELISA is a student led organization sponsored by the Intensive English Language Institute (IELI). It is open to any USU student with an interest in cultural and international friendship and collaboration.

IELISA plans and conducts activities that are fun and informative. In the past, IELISA has had pizza parties, picnics, soccer games, pot luck parties, field trips, and dance parties. The range of activities is limited only by the imagination of our members. We encourage all students—IELI alumni and current IELI students as well as international, U.S. Resident, and American students regardless of academic major to join us.

Contact the IELISA Faculty Advisor, Nolan Weil (nolan.weil@usu.edu) to join and for upcoming activities.
