Community Support Network
We are looking for volunteers to join the ICC's Community Support Network for LSU’s International students! Throughout the year, our students rely on the LSU community for services such as airport pickups and drop offs, short term housing, holiday celebrations and more. If you want to volunteer. If you have any questions, email us at icc@lsu.edu!

The Swap Shop is a space in the ICC dedicated to providing LSU international students with gently used household items so that they may furnish their homes with essentials for free.
The Swap Shop relies on donations from the LSU & Baton Rouge community. If you are interested in donating, you may drop off items at the ICC during office hours: Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm.

Volunteer for the ICC
Each semester, we recruit a team of International Orientation Leaders serve as supporters, facilitators and mentors to our new students, and help us welcome and connect them to the LSU community. As an orientation leader, you will be the face of LSU to our incoming students, and play a big role in helping them adjust to their new home. Your responsibilities will include participating in virtual town halls leading up to orientation, helping to in person orientation, and checking in regularly with your orientation group throughout the semester.
Applications for our Spring 2023 cohort of International Orientation Leaders are now open!
