We offer a variety of programming opportunities for students, faculty, and staff on the Atlanta campus to engage with cultures, develop global competencies, and participate in meaningful intercultural learning. We encourage undergraduates to participate in the International Plan and ICEBERG, and to live in OIE’s Living Learning Communities—which prepare students to study, live, and work with others from different backgrounds.
