International Student Organization

The International Student Organization (ISO) strives to create community among students from different cultures. ISO members work together to:

  • Celebrate and support our international students
  • Raise global cultural awareness
  • Address issues on campus that particularly affect international students

ISO meets regularly throughout the school year, and annually hosts International Day, which allows students to share their heritage with the entire college by showcasing their nation's traditional foods, customs, clothing, music, and art in creative and informative ways. The group also plans excursions to New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, and other area destinations.

In 2008-2009, 18 percent of Bryn Athyn students were international students, representing the following countries:

  • Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
  • Canada
  • England
  • France
  • Ghana
  • Japan
  • Lesotho
  • Nepal
  • Russia
  • South Africa
  • South Korea
  • Serbia
  • Sweden
  • Ukraine

ISO also helps new international students adjust to the United States and the Bryn Athyn College campus. All interested students are welcome to join ISO and participate in our group activities.
