Spring 2023

International Coffee Hour has brought an important component of internationalization to Fresno State for decades. We have found ourselves at a juncture of exploring new ways of bringing vigor and momentum to international dialogues of lived-experiences across the globe. For the Spring 2023 semester, we are reconsidering  innovative ways to provide venues and platforms for international discourse that shares different perspectives and common values.

We look forward to updating you on the next phase of the International Coffee Hour in fall 2023.

International Coffee Hour Coordinator

Meet our International Coffee Hour Coordinator, Natalija Popovic. She is a Graduate student from Serbia and is excited to create a diverse, interactive semester of cultural presentations and experiences to highlight the diversity of our Fresno State Campus! 

International Coffee Hour Overview

Each week ICH invites presenters to speak about their culture, study abroad, or international service-learning experiences. It provides a venue to highlight the diversity and a wide range of cultures represented at Fresno State while providing students with opportunities for cross-cultural engagement. ICH has been sharing a truly global perspective to both Fresno State and the local Fresno community for over 32 years. It provides an opportunity to share international experiences, highlight campus resources and programs while enriching the classroom experience. ICH engages students in presentations, competitions, panel discussions, and cultural performances in a welcoming environment where they can meet people from around the globe, enjoy and engage in cross-cultural learning.
