Rotary International House – Multicultural Living Learning Community

The Multicultural Living Learning Community at the Rotary International House is a place where students can engage with people and ideas from around the world. It is dedicated to promoting cultural exchange between those living in the house and other domestic and international students that attend The University of Alabama.

The Rotary International House is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Tuscaloosa. Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders, providing humanitarian service, encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations, and building goodwill and peace in the world.

The small, co-ed atmosphere fosters an environment where globalism and multicultural communication is practiced through direct interaction. This community is ideal for students interested in studying abroad or who have a passion for global learning.

Knowledge of a foreign language is not necessary to participate in the program. In participating in the Rotary International House living learning community, students are expected to engage in group activities, interact with others different from themselves, and potentially plan and implement fun programs alongside the house’s Resident Advisor to connect domestic and international students on campus.

This community is paired with the recommended course CIP 200 Introduction to Global and Cultural Perspectives and participation in the Global Tide small group program.

Rates are billed at the Smith Woods small group house rates.
