ABOUT THE PROGRAMWhat's our mission?The teams also will have service opportunities where international students can learn more about volunteering within the community, and become role models for their peers. The mission of Building Bridges is not only to help dismantle cross-cultural communication barriers between domestic and international students, but also as a way for international students to gain meaningful leadership positions. They use their past experience to inform what kind of events are appropriate and beneficial for our program. Domestic students use their knowledge of how to attract their American peers to events and use marketing strategies to draw in members from various populations across campus. Together these two "squads" (domestic & international) make up our Building Bridges Leadership Team. The teams also will have service opportunities where international students can learn more about volunteering within the community, and become role models for their peers.
