OU International Student Speakers Bureau - ISSB

OU International Student Speakers Bureau - ISSB ISSB is an OU program through which international students volunteer to share their knowledge about their home countries to local community groups.

The goal of ISSB is to promote global awareness in local schools and area community groups. The audiences often learn that although someone may have a different culture, they still have many of the same interests and concerns. Whatever the similarities or differences, ISSB brings international students and Oklahomans together to explore each other's cultures. This helps break down stereotypes and

creates a great global awareness and acceptance. The international student speakers are able to address a wide range of topics regarding their home countries. The host may request a certain topic to coincide with recent lessons or the speakers can talk to students about interesting cultural similarities and differences. Speakers usually give a general cultural presentation, which often includes such topics as language differences, festivals, school and childhood in their country, weddings, dating, food, religion, clothing, and native dances. International speakers also may bring artifacts, clothing, musical instruments, pictures, slide shows and videos from their countries to illustrate their presentations.
