The 2026-2027 International Student Experience (ISE) Design Challenge program invites students at the University of Toronto to engage in problem-solving and social innovation to create a more inclusive, equitable environment for international students by designing, pitching, planning, and delivering programming. Over the course of the winter to summer program, students will receive guidance from university staff professionals and be provided training and funds (up to $1000.00) to support their program design and delivery. This is an unparalleled opportunity for students to develop project management and global competencies, collaborate within an intercultural context, and deliver a program that can affect positive change. Please note that the core idea excludes app development and social media initiatives.
