Who are we?
Polk State College International Circle is an organization whose members represent diverse cultural and ethnic groups brought together to explore various cultures of the world and to introduce them to the College and local communities. We believe that the true spirit of America and of its people, as well as its uniqueness, is found in its cultural and ethnic diversity; therefore, we consider introducing and learning about different cultures to be one of our main priorities. Diversity of club members' backgrounds contributes substantially to the success of the club.
What do we do?
Our meetings are International Fridays with guest speakers from various countries. We host a variety of activities: field trips to cultural festivals, museums, theatres, and other events both on and off campus. We also partner with other PSC clubs to host world travel, such as our upcoming trip to Spain and France in May of 2011. See our upcoming events page for more information.
The Executive Council (officers and advisors) meetings are arranged each semester as needed. When scheduled, they are at 9:30 A.M. on the first Friday of each month.
Who is welcome?
Absolutely everyone. You do not need to be a PSC student or faculty member to become a member; you do not need to be a member to attend meetings. Simply show up and bring an open mind.
Where and when do we meet?
The general meetings are held on both campuses and at times we will be linked via live interactive television. When used, this technology allows members and guests to attend the meetings on either campus, making it easier for those who cannot commute.
Meetings are listed on our upcoming events page. They usually will be located on each campus at:
- Winter Haven Campus: WLR 215
- Lakeland Campus: LLC 2205
