Russian House
Russian House, or “Russkii Dom,” is a Russian immersion floor in the International Learning Community, located in Kronshage Residence Hall on the shores of Lake Mendota. Russian Flagship students are encouraged, but not required, to live there, since it offers additional opportunities to build cross-cultural understanding and Russian language proficiency. A language program coordinator organizes Russian-language social activities and provides tutoring for residents. Residents also take a one-credit course on Russian culture, taught by a faculty member in the Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic, and take part in ILC-wide events such as roundtable dinners, lectures, and other international programming.
