Center for Global Engagement
Getting Involved Students get involved in campus life through our 60+ sports and clubs, but one club to highlight is Global Citizenship organization. This organization seeks to spark discussion about cultural differences and celebrate international identities. Currently, we have some international students serving in leadership roles in this organization!
Getting Connected Over 90% of all students live on campus, so it is easy to find things to do. Learn about college life and American culture with a current student through our iMentor program.

There are plenty of opportunities to celebrate your own culture as well, by wearing your traditional dress in our homecoming parade, teaching others a dance move at our culture dance party, or teaching others about your culture at a World Coffee Cup event.
Uncover Tennessee and Beyond We do our best to organize opportunities to help you explore East Tennessee and beyond. Some examples of previous trips and events are whitewater rafting and tubing, kayaking on the lake, visiting Knoxville’s downtown district, hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and more!

Student Testimonial
Student Profile: Nzube Ndubueze
Home Country: Nigeria
Major: Biology, Class of ‘23
For many years, Nzube dreamed of coming to USA to study, to experience the cultural diversity, the amazing citizens, and to give back to his home country, Nigeria.
“My experience as an international student in Maryville College has been like a roller-coaster. Certainly hard to adjust to life in USA but with the help of right friends, it becomes easier as time goes on. As a member of the soccer team, I have been able to meet and associate with friends who have impacted my life intellectually, morally, spiritually and socially. I love Maryville college because the students as well as professors are open-minded and willing to learn and accept new cultures, values and way of life. The knowledge received in Maryville College is not only about what I could learn in textbooks or in class, but also the dots I could connect with the real world professional fields.”
