The India Students Association (ISA) is a Recognised Student Organisation (RSO) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Our main goal is to make every student feel welcomed and experience Indian culture. We are committed to assisting new incoming students and current students get accustomed to their school life by getting them acquainted with the services provided by UNL. Throughout the year, we bring our students together to be a part of colorful festivals, diverse art forms, sports events along with delicious food. We encourage everyone to reach out to the committee chairs for any of your queries. We are more than happy to serve you!
We aim to create an interactive community here at UNL so all of our students can fit in and feel right at home.
