The application season for the Russian/Slavic and Central Asian Culture House is NOW! If you consider applying, act fast because the deadline is already on December 1! Apply at the link below!

The Russian/Slavic and Central Asian Culture House allows residents interested in the cultures of Russian, East-European, and post-Soviet geopolitical space to engage in cultural and language activities as a part of their everyday life. Students interested in applying do not specifically need to have taken/be taking courses in Russian language and East-European culture but rather need to have a demonstrated interest in the field or to be of the relevant background. Everyone interested in the culture, geography, and social life of the countries of ex-USSR or eastern Europe is welcome. Knowledge of Russian or other Slavic languages is not a requirement but is recommended since one of the goals of the unit is to provide an opportunity for Russian language practice outside the classroom.

Rooms: 3 singles, 2 doubles
