The HCC International Club is the college's
group for people interested in the differences and similarities in the peoples of the world. It's for everyone connected with the
college, especially those who are interested in Geography, History, or Foreign Languages.
We go to concerts, shows, galleries, and other events that have at least a little bit of "foreignness" to them.
We try to raise awareness of other cultures on campus.
We help international students enrolled at HCC.
This fall, we meet on
Thursdays at 12 Noon in the Classroom Building (CLR) Faculty Lounge.
