AMIS Atlanta

AMIS Atlanta We promote cultural and global understanding through friendship and hospitality with international students and scholars in Atlanta. Having come to the U.S.

https://linktr.ee/AMIS_atlanta AMIS is the French word for "friends" and symbolizes our mission to promote global understanding through friendship and hospitality with international students and scholars in the greater Atlanta area. We welcome and connect international students with local American friends through our many programs and events. AMIS is pronounced the French way with the silent "s",

sounding like Ami. AMIS began in 1978 when our founder, Rev. Dr. Fahed Abu-Akel organized Atlanta area churches of several denominations to come together as a ministry of friendship and hospitality to welcome and support the growing numbers of international students arriving in the metro Atlanta area. as an international student from Palestine and a Presbyterian minister, Dr. Abu-Akel had a vision that every international student would be welcomed and make an American friend through AMIS. Now in our 43rd year, AMIS holds an Annual Welcome Reception for international students every fall featuring musical performances and catered reception. Over the years, AMIS has welcomed tens of thousands of international students to Atlanta. Today, AMIS works with many community organizations, including churches, Kiwanis Clubs, colleges and universities, foundations, volunteers and donors to offer friendship and hospitality to international students and scholars in the greater Atlanta area through our Amigo Friendship Program, Annual Welcome Reception and regular events throughout the year to help international students learn about Atlanta and American culture while making new friends.

Very hot FIFA World Cup Match Watch Party at Decatur Square. But thankfully most everyone found some shade in different parts of the park. If you didn’t make it out today, no worries! The Decatur Watch Party will continue through July 19 so you’ll have plenty more opportunities to go out to watch more matches and enjoy the DJs and live musical acts.

So much fun celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of summer with these students and friends of AMIS today! Congratulations to Roti (phD in data science) and Mohammed (bachelors degree in aerospace engineering) on their recent graduations! We enjoyed chatting and connecting and playing Scattegories together! There were lots of hilarious answers!
