About Indian Student Union at UCLA
Based at the University of California - Los Angeles, the Indian Student Union represents a community-driven initiative dedicated to celebrating and preserving South Asian cultural identity among students in Los Angeles. Founded on principles of cultural pride and educational outreach, ISU serves as a welcoming space where students can connect authentically with their heritage while fostering meaningful relationships across the UCLA community.
At its core, the Indian Student Union operates as a non-profit organization committed to bridging cultural gaps and creating awareness about South Asian traditions in a diverse, multicultural environment. The organization believes that cultural unity strengthens communities, and it actively demonstrates this philosophy through participation in social events, community initiatives, and collaborative programming throughout Los Angeles. Rather than operating in isolation, ISU intentionally engages with the broader UCLA ecosystem and the greater Los Angeles area, recognizing that cultural exchange enriches everyone involved.
The organization's approach emphasizes authentic community connection and mutual respect. Student leaders and advisors work together to ensure that events and initiatives reflect the genuine interests and values of their membership while remaining accessible to those curious about South Asian cultures. This inclusive philosophy has made ISU a trusted presence within the UCLA community, where students from all backgrounds feel welcomed to participate and learn.
The Indian Student Union understands that cultural organizations serve an important social function—they provide belonging, celebrate identity, and foster understanding across different communities. In Los Angeles, a city known for its cultural diversity, ISU contributes meaningfully to the vibrant tapestry of student life at UCLA. Through consistent engagement and authentic community building, the organization continues to create spaces where South Asian students and their allies can thrive together.
