Mission
Colleagues
International facilitates cultural exchanges which provide professional
development and opportunities for international understanding.
By enriching local community with global diversity, we foster
and
promote Citizen
Diplomacy "one handshake at a time." |
Kalamazoo
is a medium size midwestern community. Our location in southwest Michigan
allows our exchange visitors to experience “real America” with
easy access to larger cities such as Chicago and Detroit.
Kalamazoo is a highly diverse community – ethnically
and culturally. Our schools, colleges and university offer
significant multicultural programming opportunities.
Local
business, media, healthcare, law enforcement, non profit, government
and education professionals welcome our international visitors
and the mutual exchange of ideas. One of a kind professional and
cultural programming opportunities abound in Kalamazoo and West
Michigan. >>
