Throughout the year, the CSC sponsors many social programs for all community members, including coffeehouses, dances, dollar dinner (all you can eat pasta for a dollar, the week before finals), a potluck picnic during the summer, and many other events. A strong graduate student and young professional group exists at the CSC, having monthly Happy Hours, a yearly retreat, and a host of other activities. Community members also take advantage of the ping pong, pool, and air hockey tables in the basement and the hammock outside for fun and relaxing times. The CSC offers a large variety of faith development opportunities. Masses at the CSC are always full of energy and spirit, and there are many ways to become more involved in that atmosphere. Many community members embrace the Word of God in a physical form during the Mass by serving as liturgical ministers - as greeters, lectors, communion ministers, sacristan, and ministers of hospitality, or as participants in music ministry as singers and instrumentalists. The CSC plans several retreats each academic year including the Awakening and Growth retreats, a twilight retreat, a graduate student retreat, Spirituality on Tap, the Busy-Person's Retreat and a silent retreat. The CSC is also home to a scripture study, Praise and Adoration, Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) and Small Church Communities. The CSC library provides a range of Catholic resources and spiritual reading, in addition to being a quiet study space.

The ThurtenE Carnival is the oldest and largest student-run carnival in the United States. Each year, the net proceeds from the Carnival are donated to a St. Louis area charity. The Carnival always creates new and exciting memories for all who share in the experience. “Lot Week,” the week leading up to the Carnival, has been declared ThurtenE Carnival Week by the Governor of Missouri. During this week, the Brookings Parking Lot is transformed into a playground for the imagination. The ThurtenE Carnival traditionally attracts well over 80,000 people. This April 11th-13th, the ThurtenE Honorary expects over 100,000 people from both the Washington University and St. Louis community to attend the Carnival. The ThurtenE Carnival brings together over 50 student organizations at Washington University. From Residential Colleges, fraternities, and sororities to religious and ethnic organizations, participation in the Carnival is diverse and abundant. The teamwork of these diverse groups is what brings the Carnival to life. Fraternities and sororities build overwhelming façades and perform original plays for children, while other groups operate carnival games or host a food booth. These efforts contribute to making ThurtenE Carnival a truly unique event.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. So what’s cool about you? A. What’s cool about the ISF is that people from varying cultures find a common ground and manage to work so well together. Our different experiences and ideas give us each something unique to share. Q. What events do you have? A. We have Diversity Awareness Month (November), a whole month jam-packed with great speakers, intellectual debates on the hottest global topics, and cultural shows. The International Banquet (February) is very popular on campus—we’ve had everything from Chinese Lion dances, Irish tap dancing, to Flamenco and Hawaiian dancers. The Billiken World Fair (April) is a colorful parade of nations to celebrate the end of ATLAS week, and the coming of spring! There will be outdoor games and cultural performances. And the awesome food, of course—we've got something from baklava to paella. We also have smaller events/gatherings/private parties scattered throughout the year. Q. Who participates in the ISF? A. All international students automatically become members of the organization, but a lot of American-born students participate and attend our events as well. The ISF serves as an umbrella organization for six other cultural groups on-campus representing: Africa, Asia, Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean. Not only that, but the ISF receives support from independent cultural groups (namely the Black Student Alliance, Filipino Student Association, Indian Asian Student Association, Muslim Student Association, International Business Club). We also collaborate with other campus organizations and academic departments for our huge events. Q. But I’m not an international student! A. Being international doesn’t only mean coming from a different country other than the United States. From the point of view of students from different countries, you’re as international to them as they are to you. This is all about meeting people from all walks of life and sharing your experiences with each other. It’s about learning of a whole new world beyond your comfort zone—and that goes for both me and you! Q. Okay I'm convinced now....how do I join? A. You can be active in the ISF as much as you want to. Participation can range from simply attending our events to actually helping us plan them behind the scenes. Just attend one of our general meetings held on Fridays at 4pm (see calendar for specific dates) at the Cross Cultural Center (Suite 240 in the Busch Student Center). Hope to see you there!
We’re making St. Louis an even better place to live by connecting our region with greenways so you can be active, get around town and just enjoy being outside. Greenways are outdoor spaces connecting people and places. Ours include paved trails where you can take a walk, go for a run or ride a bike, or just explore and enjoy being outside. Our greenways are all different; some go through your neighborhood, getting you where you need to go. Some follow along a river, so you can exercise or just enjoy the outdoors. Others are full of stories of the history of our region! Greenways can hold great events for our community or programs so you can try something new. The long-term vision for the St. Louis region is called the River Ring, where more than 600 miles of trails will connect communities, bike-friendly streets and transit, and our region’s great rivers and parks in a network of greenways. By creating the River Ring, we’re offering one more way for 2 million residents plus visitors to get around, we’re enhancing our economy and we’re conserving natural resources throughout this 1,200 square mile region. (That’s roughly the size of Rhode Island!) Great Rivers Greenway is a regional parks and trails district created by a vote of the people to connect St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County.
