Intercultural Leadership Council

The Intercultural Leadership Council (ILC) is a collective of student clubs and organizations that provide cultural enrichment opportunities to UNCG students. The ILC serves as a supportive network for students and their organizations by implementing and supporting initiatives that support the cultural needs of UNCG students.

The ILC meets bi-weekly (twice a month). Membership in the Intercultural Leadership Council (IRC) is open to any UNCG-affiliated student organization

Reach out to Graduate Assistant Christian Canastuj, cjcanastuj@uncg.edu to ask questions or learn more about the ILC.

Registration is open on a rolling basis.

To apply for funds, submit the Intercultural Leadership Council Financial Request Form with the required supporting documents during the “open funding period” — see details below.
