About ISE

In Intercultural Student Engagement (ISE) we support students from underrepresented backgrounds  and actively engage with campus partners to enrich cultural dialogue, competence and inclusion. By cultivating an environment that recognizes an ever-changing campus and global community, we help equip emerging artists and designers to enhance social consciousness, cultural mindfulness and self-actualization, and spark inclusive dialogues through their work.
