Cross Cultural Workshop



 On October 27th and 28th, The Office of International Affairs (OIA) and Diversity Education and Community Building (DE/CB) are taking students to Natural Bridge State Resort Park for a weekend of intercultural dialogue between students.  This weekend excursion is designed to promote interaction between international and domestic students at UK.  

Students will gain experiences that will facilitate future intercultural interactions that occur in their daily lives, and most likely in their future careers.  Whether an international or domestic student, these skills are necessary in building personal and professional relationships. 

The fee of $20 includes all meals, lodging, and round trip transportation from UK to the site.  Students interested in participating—or in more information—are encouraged to contact Helen Brownell at hcbr223@uky.edu.  The Cross Cultural Workshop series is a partnership between OIA and DE/CB that is offered twice per school year: once in the Fall, and once in the Spring. 


Applications may be dropped off in 210 Bradley Hall.
