APPLY TO BE AN INTERCULTURAL AIDE (ICA)

So, what exactly is an intercultural aide (ICA)?

ICAs serve as an enhancement to the work of resident assistants, or RAs. Both contribute to the building of community on the floor and in a residence hall, yet ICAs place their focus on ensuring that the communities being built are both inclusive and vibrant. ICAs work hard to engage residents in the process of “crossing difference.” They do this through a series of engaged learning opportunities, including weekly roundtable discussions (RTDs), regular acts of service in local communities, social events and small-group activities, purposeful interactions with residents, and partnerships with other leaders in the campus community.
