In the department of Intercultural Affairs (ICA), we foster connections among individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We aim to create an environment where differing identities, backgrounds, and viewpoints are affirmed, valued, and celebrated. Through our programs and events, students have countless opportunities to discover and explore community, leadership, and intercultural awareness. We are committed to supporting each student鈥檚 success and promoting exposure to diverse perspectives in a space that honors each person鈥檚 experiences and individuality.
At ICA our primary drive is to prepare students for success in a global community by promoting intercultural awareness, intellectual curiosity, and mutual respect.

We encourage all students to participate in ICA programs and take part in building a community rooted in respect, understanding, and shared learning. We challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and embrace the diversity that makes our world extraordinary. Together, we can create a stronger, more inclusive community where all Catamounts are supported, valued, and ready to lead in a diverse world. By engaging with ICA, you鈥檒l enhance your intercultural awareness, challenge your intellectual curiosity, and prepare yourself to thrive in today鈥檚 interconnected world.
