International Student Organization

Through fellowship groups, fun events, and mentoring opportunities, the members of Gordon's international community support one another and seek to grow together as a diverse family. International students gather for monthly events like beach parties, bowling nights, and bake-offs, all organized by the ISO leaders.

Our Mission

The International Student Organization (ISO) is a community that cares for the spiritual, practical, and emotional needs of the international students by creating opportunities for fellowship and intentional relationship building. ISO also celebrates our different cultures and enhances appreciation for them within the Gordon College community.
