American-International Association

The American-International Association (AIA) has five main objectives:

  1. To increase the positive interactions between international students and American students at Marietta College
  2. To support Marietta College’s efforts in exposing students to different cultures
  3. To learn about different cultures from around the world
  4. To take action and give back to the community
  5. And most importantly… TO HAVE FUN!

AIA meets bi-weekly, every other Thursday at 5 p.m. in the Fireplace Lounge on the main floor of Andrews Hall.

At each meeting, we highlight a country one of our AIA members are from, and we ask them to share its culture, photos, artifacts, traditions, families, and/or stories.
