Q. Isn’t ISI@Duke the same as I-House?
A. Great question. We work with I-House, while seeking to support their goals and in response to their invitations to collaboration. We appreciate the collegiality. But no, ISI is a non-profit community organization with staff teammates in hundreds of locations in the USA and elsewhere, and a national home office in Colorado. Duke does not pay our salaries… unless they insist. Hah!
Q. Are your activities limited to Christians?
A. Not at all, definitely not. ISI nationally and locally seeks to welcome each person regardless of one’s religious, political or social preferences – even UNC fans! Oh definitely, we do aim to represent Jesus Christ authentically and be examples of genuine followers of Christ.
Q. WHY might you try out, or visit, or even join with the ISI Circle of Friends?
- Find practical assistance as you settle and adjust to Durham and Duke life.
- Develop true and lasting friends – with other international students and Americans.
- Expand your network beyond the virtual.
