Intercultural Resource Center
The IRC is the Place to Be!
The Office of Intercultural Engagement operates a unique space on campus in the Elliott University Center—the Intercultural Resource Center (IRC). It’s a place to learn, a place to gather, a place to explore—it’s a place where every member of UNCG’s diverse community can come to share experiences and build on common ground. It creates an opportunity to make meaningful cross-cultural connections and fosters an appreciation for the rich customs and traditions brought together by every individual who steps through its doors. Located on the ground level of the EUC, the environment is inviting and welcoming with lots of comfortable seating for studying and conversing.

You can reserve the IRC for an occasional class meeting or a special class presentation. For example, the IRC is very conducive to hosting discussion forums. A teaching station is available in the Lecture Area with comfortable seating for 28. The casual Lounge Area can accommodate 16 on our upholstered sofas and club chairs. Both areas can accommodate additional audience members using chairs from the surrounding study tables.
