Are you looking for someone who can recommend a good elective, show you
where to buy the things you need, and answer your questions about American culture?

Do you wish you could experience different cultures from around the world?

The Global Monarch Club (GMC) promotes an intercultural experience for domestic and international students, through a mentorship program. It helps them navigate through a global society by learning about various cultures. The GMC provides a welcoming atmosphere for new students to the ODU community. Many new students, especially internationals, undergo a phenomenon called “culture shock”. For most of them, it is their first time setting foot outside their home city, or home country—in the case of international students. GMC was established to help transition these students into the new environment. This is done by a one-to-one interaction basis, and also through events coordinated by the Office of Intercultural Relations (OIR). The GMC is the best place to enchance your intercultural engagement and diversity.
