Programs in Intercultural Service, Leadership, and Management

The World…And SIT's Place In It.

Today's global realities of poverty, war, disease, ignorance, and social injustice can, when viewed in the aggregate, seem overwhelming. Our challenge as citizens is to frame large problems in ways that enable people of goodwill to contribute to workable solutions.

In these times of uncertainty and international conflict, if the best elements of the human condition are to survive, organizations worldwide must continue to work to eliminate hatred, violence, and misunderstanding among people, cultures, and nations.

SIT is committed to the conviction that intercultural understanding is an essential step in building a world based on social justice and living in peace. The school is heir to seven-plus decades of experience in training citizens from all over the world to bridge the borders that divide.
