Intercultural Programming

There is always more than one way of looking at things. At Clark, interculturalism encompasses the many layers of experience each person brings to the campus community. These layers of experience ‹whether related to age, ability, religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, the place you call home, or many other factors ‹shape a person's values and beliefs. And while each person may identify with certain groups, Clark students, faculty and staff look outside of themselves and beyond those groups to learn from each other. Together with Clark's student organizations, the Office of Intercultural Affairs (OIA) sponsors programs throughout the year that allow students to explore and celebrate the wide diversity that is Clark University.

Below is a sampling of some of the upcoming programs offered by the OIA.

Dick Hoyt and his son Rick form "Team Hoyt". They compete around the world doing marathons and triathlons. They have competed in over 1000 athletic events in the last 30 years, including 27 Boston Marathons and 6 Ironman Triathlons. Together they have climbed mountains and once trekked 3,735 miles across America. It’s a remarkable record of exertion — all the more so when you consider that Rick can't walk or talk. Dick is 69 years young, and is a retired Lt. Colonel, having served in the military for 37 years. He and his son travel the world speaking out to educate the public about people with disabilities and promoting the Team Hoyt motto which is "Yes You Can".
