Intercultural Organizations
Intercultural Organizations (ICOs) are under the Intercultural Programs Office (ICP). An intercultural organization focuses on ethnicity or race as a means to support, educate and celebrate different cultures and perspectives among our students and on our campus. Events, programs and meetings will be framed by the college’s learning standard for diversity and by ICP’s mission, vision and goals. All students of any ethnic/racial/cultural background may apply to be a president, vice-president of any ICO such as the Asian Student Association (ASA), Black Student Union (BSU), Latino Cultural Organization (LCO), Hawaii No 'Ka 'Oi, Nomads (International students) and Racial, Equality and Justice (REJ).
