Campus Diversity Organizaitons

The International Club

The International Club is a student-oriented organization, through which international students meet each other, advocate for international student issues and promote cultural activities/events on campus. Meetings are held every week. Each year, the club organizes trips to places such as Niagara Falls, Fallingwater (one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous houses), Pittsburgh, NYC, etc. Students also get together occasionally to watch movies, go to shopping malls in the area and just to have fun together. Other events include the International Dinner, an International Fashion Show, an International Soccer Tournament, an International Bazaar, community service events at local elementary schools and retirement communities. Many international students bring small items from home to display or sell for the International Club at the International Bazaar. For other events, students bring flags, maps, slides, clothing, small items of jewelry or craftwork, postcards, stamps, music tapes, and books. Particularly useful are recipes from home that can be prepared for the International Dinner. The International Club Office is located on the third floor of the Campus Center. Meetings are held every week.
