Wisconsin International Scholars (WISc) Program
For undergraduate students interested in adding an international
dimension to their education
|
Features of the Wisconsin International Scholars (WISc) Program Students in the Wisconsin International Scholars program participate in many international academic and co-curricular activities while they undertake their regular degree program. Periodic meetings provide opportunities to discuss international issues from an interdisciplinary perspective with each other and with campus and visiting experts. Monthly dinners paid for by the program and other activities will introduce WISc scholars to international topics and opportunities available through the UW-Madison. Advising from faculty and staff will help students to build an international component into their education and to identify the most appropriate study abroad opportunities Collaboration with the International Learning Community The International Learning Community (ILC) is a student residence community sponsored by the Division of University Housing. The ILC offers opportunities for its residents to make friends from Wisconsin and around the world and to interact with faculty, staff, and students who share interests in learning about different cultures. The ILC is dedicated to enhancing cross-cultural understanding. In addition, the ILC also offers language-specific programs, including Stockwerk Deutsch (German), Residencia de Estudiantes (Spanish), Piazza Italia (Italian), Baytunaa (Arabic), Nihongo Hausu (Japanese), and Norden (Nordic languages). Some students choose to live in the ILC while participating in the WISc program. You can learn more about the ILC from its website at http://www.housing.wisc.edu/ilc/index.html. The WISc Program
and the ILC collaborate regularly on events and activities. WISc
students join the ILC once a month for an internationally themed
dinner in Upper Carson Gulley, near Tripp-Adams Hall. (There is no
cost to WISc students for these dinners.) These events often include
a guest speaker from the UW community, and they offer students an
opportunity to be introduced to new cultures, cuisines, and people. |
