For Students
AIESEC is a global, student-run organization that works to promote the development
of individuals through its Global Exchange Program in addition to activities and
events at Ohio State. Our mission and vision are to develop culturally aware individuals,
deepen their understanding of the world in which we live and develop the skills
and desire to become the facilitators of global change. We interview and accept
college students and recent graduates of Ohio State and other Ohio colleges and
universities, providing internships abroad as well as leadership opportunities.
AIESEC is more than an internship program; every person has a unique experience.
Although our Global Exchange Program is an integral part of our mission, we also
work to provide local experiences and leadership opportunities that encourage and
support the development of socially conscious and culturally aware individuals.
Additionally, the AIESEC global network provides a wealth of opportunities to meet
and share experiences with incredible people.
We want people to have as many impactful experiences as possible, so there are a
few things we look for in prospective participants. If you have the following qualities
or want to develop them, AIESEC is the organization for you.
- An open mind - Members are able to reflect on and challenge their beliefs and assumptions.
- An interest in learning - Our members have the desire to gain knowledge and increase
understanding of our world and all that it encompasses; only through learning and
increased awareness and understanding are we able to develop into impactful global
leaders of the future.
- An appreciation for meeting new people - AIESECers (what people in AIESEC call themselves)
understand that everyone has different experiences in life and are able to appreciate
and grow from those differences. AIESEC is a network of people all around the world
from which we gain remarkable experiences and friendships.
- The ability to value experiences - Members seek out new and different experiences,
understanding that experiencing new things adds to ourselves as individuals and
further enriches our lives. AIESEC is all about experiences and being able to grow
from them!
Membership is open for students who are interested in working abroad as well as
for students who are just interested in being a part of the community and learning
about world issues.
