Alumni Involvement in JCU Student Clubs
JCU Alumni are involved in the following Clubs. You can participate in many ways, if you are interested please contact us at alumni@johncabot.edu.
JCU Multicultural Club
The purpose of the Multicultural Club is to explore and promote an increased understanding of the various cultures of the world amongst students of John Cabot University. Members of the club will have the opportunity to further their knowledge of the global community through their participation and to foster appreciation at John Cabot University and its community of the different cultures, nationalities, ethnic groups, and languages.
JCU Environmental Club
The Environmental Club aims to promote climate change awareness and to educate all students on environmental issues. The Environmental Club sponsors initiatives which benefit the entire community, such as enacting recycling programs on campus, organizing clean-up events on Roman beaches, encouraging a garbage-free Trastevere and promoting recycling programs in Roman neighborhoods. The Environmental Club organizes lectures on global warming and its impact on the environment, people, food and economics. These lectures are often presented by members of various international organizations and environmental NGOs.
STAND
STAND, the student-led division of the Genocide Intervention Network, envisions a world in which the international community protects civilians from genocidal violence and elected officials are held accountable for their actions, or inaction, in the face of genocide.
Born out of the fight to stop the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, STAND is devoted to creating a sustainable student network that actively fights genocide wherever it may occur. The mission of the STAND chapter at JCU is to provide individuals and communities with a comprehensive understanding of the nature, limits and characteristics of genocide.
The mission of STAND relative to JCU is to create greater awareness within the University’s community as well as the larger community of Rome. One of the fundamental tools to stop and prevent genocide is a greater dispersal of knowledge and information about the ongoing situation in Sudan. The conflict in Sudan can be viewed as a domestic issue separate from international intervention; however, the occurrence of genocide within Sudanese borders not only compels intervention but demands unprecedented attention and recognition from the international arena.
The fact that our University is an American institution found within a larger international setting with an international community places us in a crucial position, which necessitates a call to action and acknowledgement of the burden of our responsibility.

JCU MUN Society
The John Cabot University Model United Nations Society seeks to promote the specific goals of John Cabot University:
Participation in Model United Nations enriches students’ international outlook, in giving them intense awareness of other countries and international issues, as well as experience in seeking feasible solutions through reasoned discussion. This work in crafting and promoting particular solutions is especially important in training future leaders in a globalized world. Students’ experience in engaging with these issues, with other students from all around the world, is an important step in helping to create and develop an international community, and to embrace the challenges of a more global future.
The MUN Society also seeks to enhance the program in international studies at John Cabot, by giving students an interdisciplinary opportunity to work in multiple fields at once, as well as an experiential, deliberative dimension beyond what can be simulated in the classroom.
- To enable students to contribute to the richness of cultural diversity
- to encourage leaders who will make positive contributions to an increasingly interdependent and multicultural world
- to foster reasoned discussion of contemporary issues
- to instill an eagerness to embrace the challenges of a more global future
