Get involved and join one of these groups — which are led and inspired by students who have unique interests and talents, just like you.
Each student group within the Office of Intercultural Development serves a dual purpose to provide a place for students who are seeking a sense of identity, comfort or support in a specific cultural group or who are interested in experiencing and learning about a different culture.
The student groups who help fulfill this purpose are:
