I-House
Cares The volunteer

to lend a hand to those in need.¹ |

Language
Cafes These fun
and delicious get togethers celebrate the diversity of nationalities and backgrounds
we have at I-House. They feature local cuisine from a specific culture mixed
with interesting cultural highlights. Although these originally emphasized
language (thus the name), now they stress the culinary experience!¹ |
|
 |
Language Conversation Tables Come parlez français or German or Mandarin or ASL or many others! Language
tables bring native speakers and language learners together from all over
campus on a weekly basis in Café Ventanas to speak informally in a
foreign language. ² |

with friends.² |

Sunday
Suppers Join us
quarterly for an elegant sit down dinner in the Great Hall with formal entertainment
from residents and a talk from a distinguished guest. The suppers provide
an opportunity for reflection on the purpose and meaning of I-House and a
forum for discussion of important international topics.² |

SLAM
(Spontaneous Laughter, Art & Music) Whether you’re a musician,
poet, dancer, actor or comic, you can show your talent at a SLAM or just revel
in the talent of others. There are several SLAMs held per quarter.¹ |

issues, just to name a few. ¹ |

The International House Camping
Trip This is the first big trip that I-House
organizes during Fall quarter. This is often some people's first camping experience.
Trips have been organized to local beaches or the Laguna Mountains. There
is always plenty of great food, fires, kickball and Frisbee games, hikes,
conversations, and singing. ¹ |
 |
I-House Yearbook The tradition of creating a yearbook for I-House is interesting and always
a lot of fun! It allows residents to get involved and use their talents in
creating the greatest memory that everyone can take back home. The yearbook
includes pictures and memories from every event at I-House. In addition there
is a chance for residents to submit resident pages that represent their apartment.
Also, there are nomination categories further allowing each resident to take
an active role in creating their yearbook. ¹ |
 |
I-House Online
Calendar Check out the calendar with all the I-House events you
can handle. The I-House online calendar lists events posted by RA's, the Director
of I-House, and even you! Residents can add events to the calendar. Once added,
an administrator will review the item, and then take it live so all of I-House
can see the event. |
 |
AND SO
MUCH MORE… Traditional events include the winter ski trip and the spring semi formal.
You can also get involved in making a book of recipes based on all the wonderful
dishes cooked throughout the year or join an I-House intramural team for sports
as diverse as football (generally at I-House this means soccer!) and intertube
water polo. |
