Our Mission
Intercultural Affairs (ICA) is committed to engaging and empowering students by centering identity, appreciating and celebrating culture, and contextualizing individual stories in a diverse and global society. We believe students should be able to be their whole, authentic selves, while also appreciating and valuing others’ ability to do the same. Intercultural Affairs offers a variety of student-centered co-curricular experiences that encourage students to develop their own commitments to reflect, connect, explore, engage, and strategize as emerging community leaders.
