Of the hundreds of faculty and staff members who advise students and student organizations at OSU, 42 were student-nominated for the 2005 President's Leadership Award.  Sundar Madihally was one of the five selected based on his advising of the Indian Students' Association (ISA).   ISA is large compared to most student organizations - with more than two hundred ISA members serving more than 600 students and the Indian community at OSU.  During the academic year, ISA participates and organizes a number of events including the well-attended Diwali Night (the mid winter festival of lights), a signature event in which attendance is limited by the space available for the audience.  It is organized in celebration of one of Indian festivals; and the program is a potpourri of diverse Indian culture, including dances and music from classical to new-generation "pop", movies, and songs.  Last year, ISA started a new scholarship program, Masti, recognizing talents in students from Indian origin.
