THE GROUPS members cultivate unity Q I What is the purpose of ISA? A I The purpose of ISA is to promote the culture, diversity and uniqueness of India at and outside the University. It provides an opportunity for students of Indian and foreign origin to share the joy of the cul- ture and heritage of India. ISA assists its members in cultivating unity with one another and promoting this unity by bringing people of different backgrounds and culture together through annual ISA events. The ISA also provides a window of enhanced understanding of the different religions, music art forms, history and cuisine for which India proudly stands. Q I What kinds of activities does ISA do throughout the year? A I One of ISA ' s major activities is its annual dinner that is held every fall semester. This year, ISA partici- pated in the international dance competition for MO- SAIC. We had a workshop, Uniqueness and Diversity of India, where we talked about what India was, its growth and current position of India. ISA also has potluck dinners every semester. Each of these dinners is to celebrate one of the festivals we have in India.
