Student during Civil Rights Pilgrimage

Sociology Cultural Immersion

Let’s have a conversation about assimilation

Our immersion trips are a great way to take in and understand information about other cultures. The impact of these experiences is something we cannot replicate in a classroom. If you take the opportunity to participate in cultural immersion you can learn a great deal more, not only about another culture, but about yourself in the process. The cultural immersion programs at UWEC explore many different races, genders, and cultures – find one that may interest you!
