Culture and Style of International House
The mission of International House is to promote global well being by enabling its residents to be intercultural leaders. Intercultural leaders understand cultural differences and help others to understand their differences and build international friendships.
International House Turns 30
Almost 30 years ago, International House became the first University of Wollongong student residence. In 2010 International House will stage a calendar of events to celebrate 30 years, culminating in a reunion to be held in November 2010. For more details go to the International House alumni site.
To mark 30 Years of International House, the International House Global Wellbeing Residential scholarships are being launched.With your help and that of your fellow alumni, International House aims to raise $5000 by the end of the year. This will allow us to offer 5x $1000 residential scholarships to our residents who have demonstrated intercultural leadership and embody our goal of fostering intercultural friendship and understanding
Global wellbeing starts here!
International House offers a vibrant and culturally diverse support network for its students, with a widely varied calendar of activities, which, through participation, strong cross-cultural friendships are formed. Through the award winning iLIVE program, a range of activities is held on a regular basis and includes BYO Academic, iFeast, Meet the Teach, Tuesday Topicals, Global Voices and Farewell Formals. Involvement in such events offers all residents the opportunity to enjoy an enriched community where they can share in different cultures and customs and form bonds with students from all over the world.
Student Residence Managers Lindsay Oades and Alison Hemsley were recently awarded a Vice-Chancellors General Staff Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning for the iLIVE Program at International House.
International House is ideal for students who embrace a multicultural community and the International House vision: Global well-being starts here. An established alumni has resulted from this culture.
Many first years and postgraduate students choose to enjoy the diverse culture at International House for several years.
