International Feast!

Hello, everyone!

Thanks so much to those of you who came to the IIC International Potluck last Friday! We had a great time and all enjoyed a wonderful variety of foods from across the world. The table was filled with everything from guacamole and chicken curry to baguettes with brie, Mexican casserole and apple pie. Needless to say, we did not go hungry!

Students and faculty had a great time socializing and we also honored one of our graduating students, Grace. Congratulations to everyone else graduating this quarter and thanks again to those who made it on Friday. We will be organizing another IIC get together this winter and we hope to see you all there!

Check out some of the photos from Friday below!

IIC Spotlight

Get to know your Communication Assistants: 

Joanna Hamel and Kaitlyn Bayne

Name: Kaitlyn Bayne

Hometown: Mineola, New York

College: Niagara University

Undergraduate Focus: Communication Studies and French

How did you become interested in the IIC program? I was looking for a program that would combine all of my interests into one. I had found a few programs that I liked but when a professor suggested this program to me it seemed like the perfect fit. I went on a gut feeling, having never been to visit DU, let alone Colorado, that this was the right program – and so far it seems to be so.

Name some specific areas within IIC you’re interested in: I am definitely interested in focusing on global health communications. Specifically what area of communications, I’m not sure yet, since I find so many realms of it to be fascinating, as of now I’m leaning more towards public relations.

Favorite place you’ve traveled to so far: Soloy, Panama

Dream job: I don’t know that I’ve figured that out just yet, but I think my first goal is landing an internship position with MSF doing press work or multimedia work, which I know can be quite difficult, but one that I think would be a really good fit for me. 

Name: Joanna Hamel

Hometown: Chapman, Kansas

College: University of Kansas

Undergraduate Focus: Journalism and International Studies

How did you become interested in the IIC program? My sister went to grad school for social work at DU and I discovered the IIC degree while looking at what other graduate programs DU had to offer. It's a very unique program and perfectly combines my undergraduate studies and interest areas.

Name some specific areas within IIC you’re interested in: International non-profit work or multicultural programs/study abroad in higher education are two of my main interest areas.

Favorite place you’ve traveled to so far: Capri, Italy or Santorini, Greece

Dream job: I would love to be a study abroad program director or advisor to students in higher education. I had the greatest experience studying abroad and also had the opportunity to work in the study abroad department at the University of Kansas when I returned. I want to encourage others to have the same wonderful experience I did!
