INT 100/201 Co-Curricular Events
University-Wide Integrative Learning
The co-curricular events program is an integral part of the INT 100 (Reflect, Connect, Engage) and INT 201 (Diversity in the U.S.) course curriculum. Both classes serve Grand Valley's General Education program and are core components of the Integrative Studies major.
The co-curricular program enjoys working with organizations to enhance student growth and support connections between classroom-based learning outcomes and real-life opportunities.
The following page has been developed to help students and faculty alike locate relevant events by listing all events with the INT 100/201 designations.
Below are all INT-approved events for the current semester, updated as new events are approved.
While we do our best to keep this list updated, we can only make updates that event organizers let us know about directly. If you have a question or concern about an event, please contact the listed event organizer. If you are an event organizer and notice incorrect information on this website, please contact us with your specific desired changes: [email protected]
