“Being a part of IRSAM is an amazing experience to work alongside inspiring members who are extremely motivated, intelligent and driven to change the world for the better. I can definitively say that IRSAM has not only helped me become a better leader and delegate, but also a better person. ”
“IRSAM, through the Delegation Team, SSUNS, McMUN, and FLUX, has introduced me to a family of driven and intelligent people. This community continuously inspires me to be a better leader and person.”
“Being involved with IRSAM, especially McMUN and SSUNS, have allowed me to meet some of the best friends I have ever had. These people are friends who understand and value the uniqueness of how I grew up as a Third Culture Kid, bring out the best in me, and are people I will be able to count on for decades to come.
”
“Having been involved in various roles across IRSAM portfolios, I truly believe that the level of vastness in opportunity and areas of interest within the organization truly reflects the expanse of the study of International Relations, itself. IRSAM has provided me with the space to explore my own passions and meet an incredible group of like-minded students that I now consider some of my closest friends. ”
“My participation in IRSAM, through SSUNS, McMUN, and MIR, has opened numerous new doors for me by giving me the opportunity to expand my leadership skills. I’ll always cherish the experiences I’ve had and the relationships I’ve cultivated in this organization.
”
“IRSAM is a family, and I’ll never get tired of saying it. Whatever country, program, or walk of life you may come from, IRSAM has a place for you to grow and flourish and that’s the wonderful thing about this community. ”
