Student Panels for an International Curriculum and Education (SPICE) is a program sponsored by the International & Exchange Student Center at CSUN. The SPICE Program consists of a diverse group of International Students that are available to present information on the topics that professors teach in their classes. For each panel presentation, there are typically three International Students, each representing a different country, that present information from the perspective of their home country and culture.

Sample Presentations:

  • Intercultural Communication: Verbal & Nonverbal Communication in Other Countries
  • Environmental Geology: Earthquakes and Volcanoes/ Pollution and Water Quality
  • Sociology of Gender and Sex: Gender Roles & Status of Women in Other Countries
  • Health Science: Women & Health: Women's Health Care in Other Countries

Feedback from student participants of SPICE:

"The program gave me the opportunity to have more public speaking experiences which will lead me to be a better speaker. It also made me aware of other important issues around me & improved my research and analysis skills which are vital in college"

"I had the opportunity to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds & address important issues. This is a good way to gain a better understanding of how to work in an international environment"
