WELCOME

Welcome to the new website of the International Club!

Our new site brags not only with its cool fresh looks, but also with some new features which would allow you to share thoughts and ideas, give suggestions about how to improve our events, or even start new initiatives.

One of our new exciting sections is the "Feature Article", where any student, faculty or staff at the University of Richmond can publish an article of their interest. The topics of the submitted articles can be as varied as you wish. Whether you want to raise awareness about an international issue, share an interesting aspect of your culture and tradition, or give us a laugh with an exciting story from your study abroad experience, here is your chance to do it!

Also, don’t miss out our new discussion Forum! where you can share your thoughts and ideas on a variety of topics. You can also keep yourself up to date with what’s going on in the club, even if you don’t have the time to attend our regular meetings.

We hope that by making the site interactive, more UR students would be able to actively engage in the activities of the I-club. Enjoy!!

Cultural Fest is a large event surrounded by comical circumstances, electric performances, and the cyclical celebration of cultures. It is a yearly event celebrating the cultures present on campus. This year, it will be different. Cultural Fest will be a converging point from which organizations and students can gather today and collaborate in the future.

Come.
