American-International Association

The American-International Association (AIA) has three main objectives:

to increase the positive interactions and understanding between international and American students

to support the Marietta College core value of globalization by exposing students to different cultures

to have fun!

AIA meets every other Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Fireplace Lounge on the main floor of Andrews Hall.

At each meeting we highlight the culture of one of our members. We ask them to share photos and artifacts that represent their culture and to share stories of their home town, their family background, and traditions they still celebrate.

We also plan activities for club members and the campus community, including:

International films

Presentations about students who have traveled abroad

A fundraising dinner of homemade dishes from China, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Austria and India

MC International Week Programs

Trips to:

ice skating in Athens, OH

ethnic restaurants

Blue Jackets game in Columbus, OH

a Japanese Festival in Columbus, OH

plays at the Smoot Theatre in Parkersburg, WV

If you are interested in joining the AIA or just have questions or comments, please feel free to contact any of our Officers for the Spring 2007 Semester.
