We are a thriving community of students who come together to celebrate their heritage, share their experiences, and support one another while studying abroad. Through social events such as picnics, Colombian cuisine potlucks, and cultural festivals, the group provides a sense of community for students who may be far from home and struggling to adjust to a new environment.
Studying abroad can be a daunting experience, particularly for international students who may be unfamiliar with American culture and customs. Colombians at UChicago provides a welcoming space where students can connect with one another and build lasting friendships. By participating in group activities and events, students can form a support system that helps them navigate the challenges of studying abroad.
In addition to fostering a sense of community, Colombians at UChicago provides a valuable opportunity for students to learn about Colombian culture and history. Through guest speakers, cultural workshops, and film screenings, students can gain a deeper understanding of their heritage and share that knowledge with others. This exchange of ideas and perspectives can help to bridge cultural divides and promote understanding between people from different backgrounds.
We are more than just a social club, we are a space where students can come together to effect positive change in their community. Whether through fundraising efforts for social causes, volunteer work, or advocacy campaigns, the group empowers its members to make a difference in the world around them. By working together towards common goals, students can feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment beyond their academic pursuits.
Colombians at UChicago plays a vital role in enhancing the overall college experience for its members. By providing a sense of community, promoting cultural understanding, and facilitating opportunities for social engagement and activism, the group helps students to feel connected, engaged, and fulfilled during their time abroad. For many members, the association is not just a club – it is a family.
