"We wish to establish. . . a University on a plan so broad and liberal and modern, as to be worth patronizing with the public support, and be a temptation to the youth of other States to come and drink of the cup of knowledge. . ."
Thomas Jefferson to
Dr. Joseph Priestly
January 18, 1800
The International Studies Office (ISO) is a University-wide resource that supports U.Va.'s international mission by developing and coordinating activities and services designed to create and enhance a globally aware, culturally diverse education and research environment.
The area of international studies is crucial to the fulfillment of Thomas Jefferson's vision of U.Va. as a symbol of superior intellectual enterprise and accomplishment for women and men around the world.
The staff of the ISO is committed to shaping the vision described in U.Va.'s Report of the 2020 Commission on International Activities (PDF), which is to make the University's "international dimension an essential part of its identity, a frontier for the whole range of its operations that all are encouraged to explore."
