United Planet Ambassador Club of Boston University
United Planet was proud to present our first University Club established in fall 2008! The United Planet Ambassador Club of Boston University gathers students from a variety of backgrounds to foster cross-cultural understanding. The Club's goal is to raise awareness through communication. During the course of the academic year, the Club works with the Student Activities Office at the University to host monthly events - such as international film nights, international food celebrations, dance lessons and CAP presentations - to enable an authentic immersion within different cultures. Additionally, it holds many fundraising events to help communities abroad.
