Cross Cultural Association · Purdue University
Belonging between cultures.
A community centered on cross-cultural experiences, where you can build meaningful friendships and broaden your cultural perspective.
What is CCA?
A community for students from different cultural backgrounds to build genuine friendships, share experiences, and learn from one another.
We want people to get to know each other beyond just where they’re from.
Who is CCA for?
Students shaped by cross-cultural experiences
People who may have grown up navigating multiple cultures, moved between places or communities, feel in between cultures, or carry a layered cultural identity.
And anyone curious enough to show up
People who want to learn from perspectives different from their own, build friendships across cultures, and broaden how they see the world.
