📜 History

Established in 1967 by a group of individuals who wished to represent all international and related organizations while promoting global citizenship, COISO aims to integrate international students into campus life while also spreading cultural awareness through a number of unique programs. Successor of the “International Club” founded in 1957, COISO is an organization open to people from all nationalities and cultural backgrounds that provides a safe space for students because it believes that our true nationality is Human.

🌐 Current Situation

Presently, COISO boasts hundreds of members as well as countless of proud and successful alumni. Through organizing and executing events, while also advocating for international awareness and tolerance, COISO is constantly working to serve the University’s international students and cultural organizations to promote and foster a culture of belonging and global citizenship. We are proud to say that members of COISO, both past and present, have formed a family bond that supersedes all cultural difference, language barriers, and international borders.
