Each year, the International Cultural Center highlights a country or region of the world for targeted learning and exploration. Students, faculty, staff and the wider Auburn community are provided learning experiences to build global knowledge and citizenship through multiple educational and awareness activities. The program reinforces internationalization at home, intercultural dialogue and cultural diversity awareness. The programs activities include seminars, a football tailgate, culture and cuisine classes, film screenings and cultural performances. In the past, ICC has featured Canada (2018-2019), Cuba (2019-2020) and Germany (2021-2022). For 2022-2023, ICC will celebrate the Year of South Africa.
