The International Initiatives Committee (IIC) actively promotes global awareness through conferences, workshops, and cultural events. Its highly regarded Ambassador Series brings international experts to campus to share their perspective on world events. Robert A. Scott, president of Adelphi University, serves as co-chair. Other members include faculty and visiting professors.
The IIC seek to broaden global awareness by:
- expanding in-class and open-audience presentations by ambassadors and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- developing campus-based art and film series, musical and theatrical performances, and special lecture events dedicated to international themes
- establishing new international affiliations and student exchange opportunities.
