INTRODUCTION
 In the globalized world of today it has become more
important to be aware of international issues and customs, to acquire an
international perspective and become culturally
literate. One of Hampden-Sydney College's goals is hence to raise faculty
and students' awareness of the need to develop and have international skills
and think internationally.
Hampden-Sydney College offers many international and cultural events and
activities. The purpose of this webpage is to
give you an oversight of the various opportunities to familiarize yourself
with things international. Below you will find links to other Hampden-Sydney College webpages with international content.
Also, you will find a calendar of international events and activities.
