Multicultural Clubs

Mission:
The purpose of S.O.C.A. is to promote diversity and knowledge of  different caribbean cultures. S.O.C.A. brings awareness to the college community of current issues,events, culture, heritage, and lifestyle of people in the islands. Our goal is to make the college community more aware of caribbean culture through workshops, discussion panels, arts and crafts, movie nights, parties, carnivals and more. S.O.C.A. has been officially recognized as a club or organization to the IONA  College community as of the Spring semester 2006. The S.O.C.A club also works together with other clubs in promoting various events. Although, the name stands for Students of Caribbean Ancestry, anyone is more than welcome to join this organization
