Welcome Message from the Committee

Just pause a moment to imagine what thoughts sweep across your mind when you first step aboard the aircraft in pursuit of your dreams to USA, leaving behind your precious family and friends. Numerous questions flash through your brain, that only time and patience can answer. What does the strange land have in store for me ? Strange land, strange tongue, strange people and strange customs - despite a shrinking world !

Believe us, you are not alone! All of us have taken one common path in our lives - in pursuit of knowledge and opportunity in the United States of America. This essence unites us all with a sense of camaraderie in the route we have taken.

GISO was started with ONE primary motive - "Help Indian students at University of Houston to feel at home".

We just want to make sure your journey along this path is facile and that nobody is left behind. We want you to make your transition as smoothly as possible and make Houston your "home". We want to display proudly our distinguished culture and values, live it and rejoice in the glory. In GISO, we will strive hard to uphold these values and extend our caring arms to embrace you all, with warmth and concern. In this endeavor, the GISO officers are only the torch bearers, while there is a whole contingent of members walking under this light. You are our spirit and our motivation. This organization has been founded for YOU and YOU ONLY.

We ask for your co-operation and support to help us carry out these ideals and make this organization a success. Please register today at our website and show us your support.

Thank you.
Committee members,
GISO
