Intercultural Student Services
The ISS Office approaches diversity from a biblical perspective affirming that diversity is an expression of God's image, love, and boundless creativity. We believe that all people, without exception, bear the image of God. Our pursuit of diversity involves fulfilling Christ's command to love our neighbors as ourselves. We support a diverse university as an expression of our submission to the Lordship of Christ. To that end, we submit to Christ and love one another as we appreciate individual uniqueness while pursuing the unity for which Jesus prayed. We demonstrate our commitment to the ministry of reconciliation by creating the space where we celebrate diversity, increase intercultural competence, and build community. Intercultural Student Services seeks to enhance the effect of our co-curricular programming and become a resource to all community members by providing cutting edge and impactful leadership and sensitivity training concerning matters of diversity, inclusion, and intercultural competence at IWU.
