We are student leaders committed to developing relationship and leadership skills between domestic and international students to promote a more inclusive UIUC campus.
The Intercultural Community Development Initiative is a new university initiative responding to the lack of social understanding and inclusion among International and domestic students here on the UIUC campus. We are looking for bright, highly-motivated students who are passionate about intercultural relationships and creating a more inclusive campus.
Our goal is to enhance learning of social and relational skills, learning to adjust to the cultural norms, and developing leadership skills.
As part of ICDI, you will:
· Create a legacy– you’ll be part of creating a brand new university program
· Use your talents– you’ll hone skills in event planning, workshop facilitating, marketing, budgeting, curriculum development, or teaching
· Develop an impressive international network– you’ll be working and networking with university administrators and private companies both here and abroad.
Our current project is to create an in-country social workshop for international students pre-departure in Shanghai. That’s right- we’re going to work in China. We will continue to develop workshops on campus, and develop strong relationships with international students throughout their time at the university.
