Social and Cultural Programs
International Student Services (ISS) strives to offer programs and events that will "bridge the gap" between the B-W Community and the international students.
"Colleges and universities will need to incorporate international ideas and perspectives fully into the curriculum. Students, regardless of career choice or discipline, will need to acquire an understanding of the world beyond the nations‟ borders and develop the capacity to learn from and about different cultures."
- The President's Roundtable of the American Council on Education (ACE)
