Welcome to the World Cafe
The World Cafe brings the CSUSB community together through cultural events and a welcoming space for students to connect, study, and spend time on campus.
International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) hosts World Cafe programming throughout the year to celebrate cultures from around the world and create opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and campus partners to learn from one another.
The World Cafe Lounge in CGI 107A also provides a comfortable space for students and serves as a location for many ISSS Open Advising events.
Celebrate Cultures Around the World
World Cafe events invite the CSUSB campus community to come together and experience cultures from around the world.
Each event may highlight a country, region, or cultural tradition through activities, food, conversation, and opportunities to learn and connect with others. World Cafe events are generally offered once each semester and may be presented in partnership with other programs across International Education and the university.
Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate.
