Memories of another life

I was surfing the net for an item and came upon this article regarding the International Student Organization and how I co-founded this innovative way of bringing together diverse mixture of international students under the academic umbrella:

People gathered for International Night, presented by the International Student Organization, on Friday in Dede I and II to experience through speakers, food, a fashion show and dance the ethnic diversity that exists on campus.

"The biggest reason for having an International Night is to show how diverse ISU is," said Timur Mirzoev, president of ISO.

Mirzoev said another reason for having such a night was to educate people.
"They can learn something from this night just by interacting and talking with all these people coming from different countries," he said.

Steve Chao, associate director of the International Affairs Center and special guest of the night, also spoke to the audience. He said it was great to see so many people from so many different ethnic groups.

"This night helps to understand and interact with the aspect of different cultures," he said. "It also teaches to be respectful."

...ISO was created two years ago to help international students cope with any problems they may face. The organization has grown since then under the presidency of Mirzoev, elected a year ago.

I haven't seen too many articles regarding ISO since its inception and subsequent year after we left it in the hands of another student...and hope that this innovative way of bringing different cultures together within the university is still thriving.
