Mission Statement

up

Our mission is to:

- promote internationalism within the UR community

- make the transition to the university easier for new international and exchange students

- create opportunities for international students to share their cultural and traditional riches

- abridge the gap between international and American students

     

Events

up

Meet and Greet - an event that takes place at the beginning of each semester, allowing new international and exchange students to meet other members of the university community. We often have ethnic music and a variety of delicious foods.

Social - the wildest and brightest event of the semester, which brings both International and American students together on the dancefloor for some high quality fun. Each social has its own theme, and is usually hosted at a club off campus.

Formal - the biggest event organized by the iclub, which takes place once each semester, usually off campus.

Culture Fest - a big cultural performance, featuring international cuisine and a variety of music and dance cultural acts. By tradition it takes place during the Spring semester.
