Hello and a warm welcome to the Indian Students Association at DePaul University (DISA) in Chicago! We are proud to have you as part of our family and hope that you will find your experience as a member of our organization worthwhile and fulfilling.
DISA is a student organization that tries to bring the rich heritage and culture of India to everyone here at DePaul and in Chicago. The purpose of DISA is promoting awareness of India, her people, and her culture among the American community, acting as a forum for social interaction and to showcase India as a nation.
We know how difficult it is to travel thousands of miles away from home, to a completely new country, and settle down there in a student's life. We aim to assist incoming students in settling into the new environment of DePaul @ Chicago and to provide a strong support system unique to Indians living abroad. Halfway around the globe, we strive to nurture the feeling of home away from home for the Indian students and to unite Indians and the rest of the community by celebrating and learning from diversity.
Since its foundation in 2002, DISA is a among the leading international student body organizations at DePaul, and is actively involved in organizing cultural and social events on campus throughout the year.
We strongly encourage you to join our mailing list to stay updated of our events, and look forward to your participation. Membership is open to all students, faculty and staff members of DePaul. Play your part in making a successful DISA in 2006-2007!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
