Mission Statement
The purpose of Belgica is twofold. We bring together Belgians and other students interested in Belgian culture to exchange ideas about the experience of living in the United States and to help each other with the integration process. Secondly, we participate in cultural events organized on the Stanford campus to introduce and promote the Belgian culture to the members of the Stanford community.
