 The
Program Office provides educational, cultural, social and recreational
services for residents and members of International House. The Program
Office specifically offers programs which contribute to building a
sense of intercultural community for residents within the House; ongoing
programs open to International House members; and activities strengthening
linkages with the campus and the community. These include interracial
and intercultural activities and forums broadening and enriching the
social and cultural interactions of international students, US citizens
and permanent residents. Community exploration trips provide students
and scholars with the opportunity to understand the great diversity
of the Bay Area while local International Friendship Programs, cultural performances
and tours beyond the Bay Area offer overseas students and scholars
special additional opportunities to experience California.
