ICAP

The Intercultural Community Center (ICC) has a program called ICAP, the Intercultural Club Affiliate Program that clubs have to apply to be a part of. The program runs almost like another club with meeting in and of itself, but with the membership made up of leaders from other clubs. As the Internal Affairs officer of MEChA/ALAS, I attend these meetings as an ICAP member and MEChA/ALAS liaison. Other clubs in ICAP include PUSO, BSA, APIA, Latino Grad, MiXed, “White” Students for Racial Equity, the Students-Community Alliance and the Student Labor Action Coalition (SLAC).

The program as a whole I feel has been a beneficial one for Oxy, since it cuts back on over-programming by having us all meet and put down our event dates on a common calendar, (which also helps ASOC and other sources of funding).
Of course, the program also helps the individual clubs by giving us a place to discuss our programming with one another facilitate co-sponsoring opportunities.

Being a part of ICAP these past couple of years has been actually pretty enjoyable. It’s especially interesting right now a senior, since many of the heads of other clubs are also seniors.
