THE GROUPS one vision, one world Q I What are the purposes goals of ISO? A I ISO is a student organization that seeks to provide a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for students who are experiencing America for the first time as well as providing opportunities for both Americans and international students alike to get to know people from other countries and cultures and about the diversity that makes up our world. ISO is open to anyone who is interested in getting to know people from other countries and cultures, this includes American students. It is a commonly held misconception that ISO is only for international students, however, this is not true, there are many Americans in ISO. We meet weekly and have a lot of fun together. Q I What events activities does the group participate in? A I Some of the activities we have done this year include: a picnic and boating day at Mozingo Lake, participating in the Homecoming Parade, hay ride, barbecue etc. Look around campus for information about our meeting times and location. The dinner, to be held in the spring, is a way for us to educate the campus and community about different countries and cultures from around the world in a fun and entertaining way. Q I Approximately how many members are in your group? A I We have approximately 40 members from United States, Nepal, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, India, Saudia Arabia and Morocco, just to name a few. Our slogan is One Vision. One World. ISO is a place for students to kick back and relax in the midst of school. ISO provides a very multicultural experience for everyone involved. Mosaic Event Dancers perform during the talent portion of the Mosaic event. The theme was Rising up and Reaching out.
