Intercultural Programming

The International Education Center offers various intercultural programs.

The Speaker's Bureau

If you are an on-campus or off-campus organization desiring an international representative to give a speech at any of your events, please feel free to contact the International Education Center.

The International Women's Exchange

This is a free program created especially for women, both foreign and American. It is an opportunity for women of all nationalities to exchange friendships, cultures, and ideas. You do not have to speak perfect English to attend. In fact, it is a great way to improve your English in an informal atmosphere! Participation in this program will give you a chance to make many new friends, discover new places in Riverside, and experience various cultures. Women with children are encouraged to bring them along, and anyone is welcome to invite a friend!

Examples of our activities include: a picnic at the UCR Botanic Gardens, personalized card making on Mother's Day, and presentations of dances and traditions from women of different cultures.

International Peer Advisors

IPA's assist the student body in a very significant way! It is a great volunteer opportunity to make new international friends, become a reliable resource for new international students, learn valuable team-building skills, and learn about other cultures and people.
