Intercultural Affairs Council

Dear Student,

The Intercultural Affairs Council (IAC) is a project of Yale College Dean's Office. The IAC is relatively “young” in its second year of operation, and is seeking to strengthen and expand collaborative relationships with diverse centers and student organizations. We invite your participation as a student member. The mission of the IAC is to:

support an inclusive and diverse campus environment that engages in community dialogue;
promote intercultural awareness, respect and appreciation through an innovative mix of educational, cultural, and social programming;
challenge bias on the basis of race and ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, social class, or other distinction.
