U.S. Culture & the Intercultural Experience

Through readings, workshops, guest lectures and extracurricular activities such as attending sporting and cultural events, dining or theater, and an early introduction to the various student clubs, students will have the opportunity to learn more about the Rochester community and about U.S. culture. ELUSC participants of all programs will compare and contrast U.S. culture with other cultures - and will gain valuable insights into the ways in which U.S. cultural values help to determine behaviors and practices in business, academic and social settings here. The program will also provide numerous opportunities for you to share insights from your own background and perspective and to practice and refine your ability to communicate effectively within a multicultural learning community.
