As an expression of IWU-Marion’s commitment to Kingdom diversity and belonging, the Intercultural & Global Office is dedicated to having Christ at the center, celebrating Kingdom diversity, cultivating belonging, creating opportunities, and fostering courageous engagement that exemplifies Christ’s commandment to love all humankind.
This is accomplished through academic support, student services, and co-curricular programs. We envision a vibrant, welcoming community shaped by a culturally responsive curriculum and campus experiences that embody our commitment to the multicultural Kingdom of God.
Motivated by Christ's love, we welcome all people and intentionally foster a sense of belonging in the spirit of Jesus' teachings.
God is the author of all diversity, and it is through Him that we find our direction. His church is a vibrant reflection of a diverse Kingdom, embracing every individual.
