The goal of our interest group is to bring people together who enjoy learning about global experiences around our world. Our programs are provided by people who have lived in or have strong connections to unique places, cultures, and experiences. We hope to promote an understanding of our shared humanity and focus on qualities that unite us. Time is provided during or at the end of programs for questions and discussions. And during the pre-program social time, it is always fun to see and talk with people who share our interests.
