Intercultural Engagement and Leadership
Create Change
Our ever-changing world needs people like you. Learn how to create a healthy and equitable world through your work with us.
We want to help you find your passion and create sustainable change in our complex world. Become a changemaker by working with our office and learning to create a more equitable, happy, and healthy world.

Get Involved!
Grounded in social justice and leadership, our programs will immerse you in experiential learning and develop your cultural competency through co-curricular experiences.

Cultural Celebrations
We recognize that everyone comes from a diverse background or culture. Throughout the academic year, we find ways to celebrate our students and their rich cultures.

Operation Blue and Gold
Give back to our greater Commerce community during our annual day of service. Our goal is to venture off campus into our very own community to meet our neighbors and give back.

Leadership Without Limits
Leadership without Limits is an unique travel abroad opportunity for undergraduate students going into their 3rd year and above. You will develop an understanding of experiential leadership, service and social justice in a global context. Applications open up in the spring semester.
