Even before international and intercultural understanding was formally introduced into the College mission, Ramapo supported students through the International Students Organization (ISO). Pictured here are members of the 1982 ISO as listed in the yearbook.

With the main goal of unifying cultural diversity among the Ramapo community, the ISO today remains based on different cultures and perspectives that allow individuals to enhance their knowledge of cultures around the world. It continues to be an organization that bridges the divide between international and U.S. students.
