ISO Program's Student Resource People
Though not substitutes for the team of upperclass students, who provide support during the Customs Orientation Program, the International Student Orientation (ISO) Program's Student Resource People (ISRPs) are intended as support and an additional point of reference. Many ISRPs are also international students and past participants in ISO. Tasked with collaborating with other campus resources, ISRPs are available for one-on-one conversations, hold small workshops and conversations, and advocate for the needs of the ISO cohort within the larger Haverford community.
