About Our Organization

Marist International Student Association (MISA) is a club where the international community at Marist comes together to celebrate their differences through shared experiences. We represent and advocate for all club members. Our club is open to all Marist students who are willing to learn about the various cultures of the world. MISA is the most diverse club on campus and we can’t wait to see you at one of our events!
