2010/11 - Bechtel International Center - Stanford University

PROGRAMS 2010/11
Programs and Events
at the I-Center
Regular meetings were held by a Program
Committee. The purposes of the committee were:
•
•
•
•
•
•
To evaluate program proposals from student
organizations.
To initiate selected programs sponsored by
Bechtel: e.g. International Week, Winter Quarter
Discussion Series and the Faculty-Graduate
Student Lunch Discussion Series.
To coordinate outreach and publicity for our
programs.
In keeping with these goals each quarter we
offer some events that are run directly by the
I-Center as well as provide some assistance to
student groups to offer their own activities.
Most of our events are free and open to the
public.
Following is a summary of the events which
the I-Center organized, or provided a venue
for, during the 2010/11 year. Many of these
events were presented in conjunction with
student groups and supported by funding from
the Billie Achilles fund and the Riddle Family
Foundation.
We would like to thank all of these individuals
and groups for their support, and hard work.
Without them, the I-Center would not have
been able to offer such a range of programs
and opportunities.
Fall Quarter Events
We had approximately 3,653 people attend evening and
weekend events, and we hosted 391 events total during
the quarter.
Events listed below were all held at the I-Center. Please
