BRIEF HISTORY:
The ISO at Montgomery College finally came to life in September of 2002 as a more or less direct result of
the hiring of Abdul Tamimi, MC's new Foreign Student Advisor and his frequent and efficient interaction with
Advisor Suzy Englert and of course the international student body. Originally, the shotcallers at ISO needed
someone to boost the creation of an active foreign student organization and it turns out that Mr. Tamimi has
been just that.
Quickly, meetings were set up for students from all over the world to meet and the enthusiasm to found the ISO
was great. The active core of 12 officers was elected and the constitution set up. Despite its fast formation,
the ISO is a result of careful planning and a bunch of good ideas. As mentioned above in the title, our history
this far is very brief, but again, keep checking back later for a more thorough description of the ISO and a
look at our constitution.
