International Living Area

Gerstacker International House is closing, but the I-house program will continue on the top floor of Whitehouse.

The International House has moved to the top floor of Whitehouse this year and is a living-learning residence for upperclassmen with an interest in French, German, Spanish and Japanese. Language majors must live in the house for at least one semester. Students often live in the house before and/or after a study abroad experience.

There are Native Speakers of each language in the language houses, one for French, two for Spanish one for German and one for Japanese. Native Speakers in the past have come from France, Belgium, Japan, Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Austria, and Germany. The Native Speakers help students learn their language and arrange weekly activities in each language.

Residents of I-House pledge to attend weekly language house meetings. The I-House meetings are programs focused on international issues - or just fun activities! Some examples of meetings include speakers, scavenger hunt (with clues in French, German, and Spanish and Japanese), cultural activities put on by each house, talent nights, and a international dinner put on by all 4 houses.

International Dinner 2009

Over 125 students, faculty and staff showed up for the annual international dinner, each house made at least one dish from their country. Congratulations to the Native Speakers and their students for a job well done!
