I was the Treasurer of the India Student Association (ISA)at the OSU during 2005-2006 and it was really fun being a part of ISA. It gave
me chance of meeting people from different cultures. ISA is an affiliate of Int'l Students of OSU (ISOSU) and therefore when participating and volunteering for all different cultural
nights of all affiliates, one gets to know about numerous cultures and coutries around the world! The ISA presents a huge cultural event (1200 audience) of its own called "India
Night" and this year we did a great job in making people aware of real, contemporary India along
with its age-old traditions. I'm proud to say that I had a very significant part to play in this effort. We displayed
9 posters and showed 4 videos about different aspects of the diverse land that is INDIA!!!
I also had a significant contribution to the small exhibition ISA had put up a on India's Republic
Day (January 26th) informing people in the OSU community about India's Constitution and its Parliamentary
setup.

I was voted the "Officer of the year" by my fellow
committee members for all the contribution I had in making our committee very different, very active and very successfull
one.
I was also interviewed by our local newspaper 'The Daily Barometer' about my role in the India Night organization.
Below are
the links to the posters and videos that we made for the India Night. Enjoy!
