The International Center

The International Center welcomes everyone.

Welcome to this space, created for you

Conveniently located in the Compton Union Building (CUB), right in the center of campus, the International Center is a kind of campus family room—a comfortable, welcoming place where all students and their friends can gather to relax, socialize, and study.

Students take part in intercultural communication opportunities, leadership roles, and a variety of global programs for the campus and community. It’s a place where all students can share their cultures; our social events frequently highlight international cultural customs and traditional U.S. celebrations.

The International Center offers a variety of resources, computers, and free printing for all students; a comfortable lounge with TV and kitchenette; free tea and coffee; and a quiet study space.

Students who want to get involved, meet other interesting people, and have fun should consider joining or volunteering for one of our outreach programs. There are internships and other involvement opportunities available.

Language conversation tables

The International Center supports various language tables. Each semester, we host a range of different languages, such as Spanish, Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, and others. Languages offered vary from term to term. Students can practice or share a language they know or are learning. These tables allow students to share their language and culture with others interested in learning. If you want to start a language conversation table for your language, please speak to someone at the International Center.
