ISO's International Week 2021
November 1 - November 7
Celebrate ISO’s third International Week, BLOOM. We have an exciting and engaging line up of events this year from an open mic night, an intimate “book” workshop, dance workshops and the long awaited Annual ISO Show.
7 days of exciting, stimulating and engaging events curated by students for students, IW21 is the experience you’ve needed all semester!
Scroll to learn more about our many events. All in-person events require RSVP except our Community Dinners. The RSVP form is also available at the bottom of this page.
~BLOOM~ This year, the theme of the international week is Bloom. After a year where many of us were unable to be on campus, we welcome you back with more vibrancy and flowering extravagance. This is an invitation to celebrate the resilience of our community to grow with vigor and blossom beautifully even in the face of adversity. Like blooming flowers, we are here to rejoice in our colors, to radiate gracefully and to grow!
