  • Interested in learning more about other cultures, trying new food or dances, and having fun with others? Each year Nashville celebrates the different cultures represented here by hosting a day for people to share their different cultural traditions through music, food, dance, activities, and crafts. Come and bring your friends along with us, as we walk through Centennial Park to learn and experience traditions from other cultures! 

I-FAM is a community for international students to connect, explore, lead & grow together. We serve international students from all backgrounds and faiths at Vanderbilt University and other Nashville area universities. Our goal is to provide a safe environment for students to get to know each other and their cultures and to grow lifetime relationships as we meet and discuss life’s big ideas. We do this because we love and want to share the love of Jesus.
