Internationalization at Home

LPC finds many ways to fulfill its vision of helping students become "engaged partipants and leaders in their local and global communities." 

Internationalized Curriculum

Beginning in 2016 LPC faculty revised many course outlines and created new units of study and a new degree program, Global Studies, to broaden students' knowledge of the wider world. Eight faculty, from disciplines as diverse as English, art history, history, biology, and library science, won fellowships from Stanford's Educational Partnership to Internationalize the Curriculum (EPIC) to advance this work. 

Campus Events

Supported by LPCSG, Learning Communities, and other consituencies on campus, LPC offers a number of events that celebrate world cultures. The April One Love Festival brings them all together.
