Welcome to the Indian Students' Association (ISA) at the Old Dominion University. ISA is a non-profit socio-cultural student organization recognized by the Office of Student Activities and Leadership(OSAL) at Old Dominion University, Norfolk. The purpose of the organization is to provide an opportunity for all students of Indian and foreign origin to interact and share the cultural heritage of India. Our primary goal is to provide a homely atmosphere for the students and families from India. We are concerned with promoting awareness about Indian tradition, cuisine, music, art and dance forms by conducting events all year round.

Functions organized by us, such as Holi, Diwali, our role in the Multicultural Student Services, Movie Screening and Sport events reflect the cultural backdrops of our country at the same time creating a sense of Indian-ness far away from home.

For NEW STUDENTS these pages address frequently asked questions. They include information about preparatory travel arrangements, housing facilities, student finances and getting familiar with Norfolk. This should prepare you well with what to expect as a student at ODU. 

New Students: Post your arrival info here.

Current students, especially ones recently enrolled will find in these pages useful information about Indian activities at the University. Besides listings about local cultural and recreational bodies and their events, they include matters of general interest ranging from cricket to cooking!
