Multicultural Club

The Multicultural Club exists to bridge language gaps between native and non-native speakers of a language. In addition to providing knowledge about global awareness, the Multicultural Club plans cultural activities around food, film, and music. For instance, members have travelled to the United Nations in New York City on an all-expense paid trip. The club has also organized several “Around the World” dinner and talent show celebrations at Nashua Community College, attracting hundreds of guests from the Greater Nashua community.
