Office of Intercultural Development

As a student at Lipscomb, you will experience many cultural differences. After all, we’re a diverse community. We believe in empowering our campus community of over 45 nations to engage with one another.

Our Purpose

To enrich the holistic development of each student by encouraging them to recognize and embrace the uniqueness of their personal culture while valuing the culture of others.

Mission

To build community through culture.  

Vision

By the time of graduation, each student will be equipped with the knowledge and experience to be active, productive, and vocal leaders within their diverse communities.

Our goal is to unify, uplift and educate. We want all students to discover the benefit of ethnic and cultural diversity. We are proud to serve as an advocate for underrepresented students. And we're committed to fostering an inclusive environment. It's not unusual for us to host educators, leaders and activists who can speak into this.

So share your culture’s traditions. Join a club. Cultivate your spiritual life and watch it flourish. The Office of Intercultural Development is your support system. We will help you connect within the Lipscomb community, Nashville and the world.
