ABOUT ISO
The International Students Organization (ISO) of the University of Mississippi has been formed out of the need for more interaction between International students on the campus. Currently, there are about 7 different student organizations which cater for International Students, but each of them caters mainly for students from specific countries. There was no association for all international students regardless of their nationality. Therefore, the ISO was formed in February 1997 by Nilesh Dosooye. Numerous other people have contributed greatly to make ISO one of the biggest organizations on campus. Check out the ISO Hall of Fame to know about these outstanding people.

Why the ISO?
The aim of the ISO is to establish a platform where all international students and Americans can meet and engage in some social activities. We want all the different cultures represented on this campus to be able to share their different backgrounds, cult ures and establish friendship.
Membership in ISO
Usually, most of our activities are open to everybody, but sometimes we may have member-only functions. There will also be a minimal fee to cover up our costs each time an activity is organized. Members get greatly reduced rates at these events or even g et in free. Membership or rather Donation is only a minimum of $5.00 per semester.
