Intercultural Club
The Intercultural Club meets bi-weekly to plan and organize events on campus and in the community. We discuss topics surrounding cultural inclusiveness, and socialize with other students on campus.
The ATCC Intercultural Club promotes activities and initiatives that are designed to:
- Provide a connecting point for students of all cultural backgrounds
- Provide a connecting point to the Inclusion Network
- Provide a connecting point for community initiatives and organizations
- Provide opportunities to meet people from other ATCC programs, cultures, and backgrounds.
- Create intercultural understanding
- Understand and celebrate diversity
- Learn about traditions, beliefs, and lifestyle of different cultures
- Promote an appreciation of cultural diversity and ethnicity on our campus and throughout the community
The club meets in the Intercultural Center.
Connecting to the Community through History
The Intercultural Club visited the Runestone Museum in Fall 2021. One of the students said, "The trip to the Runestone Museum really helped me. I struggle with my mental health and one way I cope is through history. This trip helped calm my anxiety and depression."
History connects past to present, and students to community.
