The International Club promotes friendship and cooperation among all students in the University to welcome new international and American students to the University community.  The International Club also encourages understanding, justice, unity, and peace through the promotion of cultural, social, and educational activities.  These activities include monthly culture education socials, Oktoberfest, an art festival, a weekend beach trip, holiday celebrations, volunteer activities, and more.  All UP students, graduate and undergraduate, are encouraged to join the International Club.  For more information about club events please visit the International Club website.

International Education Week (IEW) and Night is the largest international event of the year planned by International Student Services, the International Club, and ASUP. Nationally, IEW is a joint initiative of the US Department of State and US Department of Education and spans a six day period in mid-November. During IEW at UP, there are campus-wide activities which include: films, speakers, concerts, and food around campus. International Night is the final event of the week during which professional and student musicians, dancers, and martial artists from around the world perform and showcase their cultures. During the night international cuisine is served in the University Commons.
