Intercultural Programs

The Intercultural Programs Department consists of the Executive Director of Intercultural Affairs and five directors that represent each of the five largest ethnic groups on campus. Their work rests on the core belief that there is biblical rationale for the equality of all peoples, and they work primarily through the student group “United Cultures of Bethel” (UCB) and the 5 subsidiary student resource groups that target the Caucasian, Asian, African/African American, Hispanic/Latino(a), and First Nation (Native American) populations on campus. This department seeks to support students in regards to their cultural identity as well as to engage the entire Bethel community in a cultural understanding of one another. This department can move our community toward a more accurate reflection of God’s kingdom that displays the unity that should exist within the Body of Christ.

The mission of the Intercultural Programs department is "To unify the Bethel community as the Body of Christ through: investing in and embracing one another, supporting students in regards to intercultural affairs, enriching our cultural sensitivity, and appreciating cultural differences and similarities, all while being genuinely concerned about the intercultural needs of our peers and community."

Executive Director of Intercultural Programs

I'm an international student from London, England studying for a degree in Chemical Engineering. I love to play and watch soccer, go out and have a good time. I'm especially interested in exploring new ideas and making plenty of friends and talking about the hard issues in life.
