International Service Teams (IST)
Description:
The IST program works with international communities to identify a need and develop
a 10 week summer long service-learning project to help meet the community need. The
projects are completed by an interdisciplinary team of K-State students. The students
work to engage in community outreach, civic leadership and cross-cultural communication
skills while developing their capacity to serve as a team, understand the ethical
implications of international community development and engage in a transformational
leadership through service experience.
