In addition to planning and taking trips, Cultural Connections plans local events. "We also organize salsa dancing nights which includes dancing lessons from a professional performer," Nikcevic said. "We also go on riverboat cruises, host belly dancing nights, and have movie nights as well as other activities that are fun."
Two yearly events that occur on campus are International Week, which takes place Fall Quarter, and Worldfest, which occurs Spring Quarter.
"International Week encompasses lectures, displays and offers different activities that promote the international effort here on campus, and provide academic involvement in the global environment," Nikcevic said. "Worldfest typically occurs in May and is a week-long celebration of our diversity. There are performances, international festivals, food and guest speakers."
Both of these events expose UC students, faculty, and staff to different world cultures, religions, and food. "It is a good way to for other people to learn about new cultures and try new food," said Nikcevic.
"One of the best things about Cultural Connections is meeting people from all over the world," Nadine Stecher, a graduate student in chemistry said.
Cultural Connections is available to students, faculty or staff members who want to meet and make friends with people from all over the world. "I love meeting new people," Stecher said. "This club is a great way to meet someone special."
