IIC Students Integrating Election Night into the Classroom

Students in Christof Demont-Heinrich's International Communication class gathered together on election night over delicious pizza and baked goods. The class participated in a mock ballot, casting their votes for who they thought would take home the election. They also specified which way they thought the swing states would sway! Later on, the class broke into different groups to look at how and what other countries were covering the election. The class was able to share what they were finding by posting links to twitter and using specified hashtags. All in all, it was a fun and interesting way to come together on such an important night.

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!
