International Awareness and Involvement (IAI) coordinates programs that broaden knowledge and understanding of nations other than our own and increases an interest in international affairs.
IAI also aids in the development of a greater appreciation for people of different backgrounds and cultures, and in a small, but tangible way, assists in the solutions of world problems.
