Mission Statement and Values
"At ISU, we inspire and advocate for global engagement, social justice, inclusivity, and awareness of international affairs across our campus and community. Our club embodies respect and humility for all persons, a genuine curiosity and open-mindedness towards cultures, and a desire to build lasting friendships and expand world views through these relationships."
How does this mission come to life throughout the year? We have several traditional events such as our ISU Dinner, and Global Conversations with ESL students. We are excited to work towards our goals and tackle obstacles in new and exciting ways this year! Our vision for 2022-23 is to establish stronger connections between domestic and international students, hold more campus-wide international events, and really make our club known throughout GU.
Overall, ISU has big dreams and is made up of an amazing group of individuals from all parts of the world! We can't wait to meet and learn about you! — Zagtivities Description
