Additional Events

Cultural Events
A variety of cultural events will expose students to the diversity of the world as the international students at APU sponsor World Market (includes cultural foods and festival activities).

Global Fest
A celebration of cultural diversity through performance, activities, and food from different regions of the world

Missionaries Across Campus (MAC)
Missionaries Across Campus is a way of promoting the idea that the call to missions is one that reaches to every Christian, whether he or she is planning a career in accounting, communications, science, or any other field. The MAC program involves class or residential hall visits by missionaries from organizations ministering throughout the world.

Missionaries and Missions Agencies
Missionaries and missions agencies are invited to participate in our annual Global Vision Week. Missionaries will be provided with numerous opportunities to interact with APU students during this week. It is our hope that through these interactions, students will gain deeper insight of their role in world evangelism and events.

Study Abroad Fair
At this year’s Study Abroad Fair, students will have the chance to look into the many opportunities available to learn and grow in another culture. Study abroad campus recruiters and representatives will be available to answer questions and share about unique study abroad programs throughout the world. These programs include opportunities for ministry, service-learning, research, language-learning, cultural immersion, study of international issues, and academic enrichment.
