Existing Programs

Worldfest Week - This is a week - long celebration of International culture on campus. The week is a full of interactive entertainment, enlightening dialogs, and of course, greate food and friendship.

Birthday Celebration - Everyone feels great when it is their birthday! Being away from family and friends can be a little hard during this time, so we invite you to be a part of our Birthday Celebration and make a special day for our students.

Friendship Hours - Food and friendship is something that translates from culture to culture. Once a month we plan a thematic celebration of good times and good food with our Host families and Parkside Community.

Conversation Partners - This exciting new program will connect International Students with American Students.It allows them to share their cultures with each other in a non - structured, laid back athmosphere. It is kind of like a pen pal, but better! If you are interested in participating in this exciting program contact Mishall at raza0002@uwp.edu or call the Center of International Studies at 262-595-2701.

Community Outreach - We believe that it is important to not only be a part of the Parkside community but the local community as well. Our outreach program is designed to help those who are less fortunate than us. In addition to doing community work, we will be going to local grade schools and high schools and providing their students with personal, real - life history lessons. If you would like to participate in this program you can contact Harisson at idowu000@uwp.edu or Velina at darak000@uwp.edu.

Cultural Immersions - So you can not travel overseas to enjoy some of the World's finest cultures? No worry, PIC will bring it to you. The exciting new program will take place on the last Wednesday of each month. PIC will bring fascinating and exceptional small and authenic cultural programming to our meetings. These immersion programs will entertain and educate and are sure not to be missed.
