International and Intercultural Center

Get ready to explore our world with help from Alverno’s International and Intercultural Center (IIC).

Whether you are an international student who is hoping to study at Alverno, a current Alverno student who is interested in studying abroad, or looking for ways to learn about and celebrate diverse cultures, the IIC is your first stop.

International Night

International Night is a beautiful celebration of cultures on our campus. The campus community comes together to share food, songs, games, music, dancing and more.

This year featured traditional dances by students of Puerto Rican, Mexican and Hmong cultures.

Additionally, students shared a traditional Hmong ball game and Loteria, a Mexican bingo games with participants.

International Students

“I chose to attend an international school to learn more about different cultures and take a step out from my comfort zone. I like Alverno’s environment, and Alverno being for girls is the most comfortable thing for me in many aspects. Also, the instructors are amazing; they support me and other students, and I am fascinated by how the amount of knowledge they have.”
