Q: Where did you come up with the name, Around the World ? A: Hey, we know it sounds cheesy, but what better name can we give to a club that has so many people from all over the world? Q: What countries are all the members from? A: We are a very diverse group from different countries like Bulgaria, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Philippines, India, Japan, Brazil, Puerto Rico , France, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Rwanda, U.SA. Q: Can I be a member even though I am not an International Student? A: Yes. This club is also for those who are interested in learning about diverse people and cultures. Q: What kind of programs are you involved in or organize? A: Since we are a new club, we have only participated in a few things. Over the past year, we've been involved in programs such as Intercultural Taste fest, Christmas Around the world, bake sales for fund raising ,the Uganda Sister Program and a couple of others. Q: What made you decide to come up with this club? A: It has been one of Saint Mary's goal to increase diversity on campus. This is just an addition to fulfill that goal. It was observed that there was not really any program or club that catered for international students specifically, so the idea came up to set up a club that helped international students adjust to their new environment and also create an environment were people can learn from these students of diverse backgrounds and vice versa. Q: What goals, aims and objectives have you set as a club? A: The objective of this club is to provide a sense of belonging for international students and to share different experiences and perspectives with the Saint Mary's Community. This club will also interact and network with international students from Notre Dame, Holy Cross College, and IUSB to educate each other and the society. Q: How can I contact the group? A: See our Contacts page for more info.
