Welcome!

Welcome!

All of us on the UBCIA team are so excited to launch the very first Intercultural Alliance at UBC! With students coming from over 140 countries and where over 70 languages can be heard on campus at any given time, one of the greatest strength of this university is its diversity, vibrancy, and opportunities to learn from one another.  At its core, UBCIA wants to celebrate the rituals, traditions, dress and customs that have spanned thousands of years to answer the fundamental questions of what it means to be alive and human in this world. By creating intercultural learning opportunities that build off the inherent strength of a multicultural campus such as UBC, students can learn from one another in amazing ways.
