Multicultural Club
Mission
The mission of the 17吃瓜 Multicultural Club is to foster relations between 17吃瓜's international and domestic students; to promote the idea that people from diverse backgrounds can work together, contribute to the community, socialize, and share knowledge and culture. We will work to provide a global perspective for the local community.
You do not have to be an international student to be part of the club — you are welcome to join if you have an interest in meeting new people and learning more about the world.
