IRSA exists to help students get to know each other on a social level, and to help tie the theoretical knowledge gained in classes to the realities of living in a fluid international system. Not just for IR students, IRSA acts as a meeting place for students of all faculties who are interested in global events. Our mission has been to provide a forum for international discourse and build a strong community for students and faculty to share their interests in international relations. Year in and year out we are among one of the highest regarded student organizations in North America. We are a UBC AMS Club.
