Center for International and Intercultural Studies

The Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies (CIIS) encourages students to attend to cultural differences in the context of historical, ecological, political, and economic processes affecting the globe. A St. Lawrence University education includes development of critical intercultural skills necessary to prepare students for responsible membership in the global community. Intercultural learning should be explored within the U.S. and beyond its borders.
