The Intercultural Student Union was created to celebrate different cultures from across the world. 

Jerome Nembhard, president of Intercultural Student Union, aspires to create a culturally diverse and welcoming environment on campus.

 “From a multitude of events to simply get together and help expand the companionship amongst students,” Nembhard said. 

Nembhard said he is grateful to be given the opportunity to create events and opportunities for others to have a positive experience at Utica and make campus more welcoming and home-like. 

The Intercultural Student Union hosted multiple events last semester and they are planning to bring many back this year. The events include afternoon tea, make your own ramen and cultural food days in the Strebel Dining Commons. The organization will be tabling during the Involvement Fair on Sept. 18.

An International Student Welcome Reception will be held on Monday, Sept. 9 afrom 4 – 5:30 p.m in  Hislop Auditorium, Thurston Hall. The event is to welcome the new class of undergraduate and graduate international students, and celebrate the current international students. Everyone is welcome to join the event.
