Welcome to the website of the Belgian Association at Stanford University. This website serves to announce the activities organized by Belgica on Stanford Campus. You can also find a list of the current affiliates, and the alumni. If you have any questions or inquiries, please contact us. Our contact information can be found in the Contacts tab.
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 every year in several cultural events organized on the Stanford campus to introduce and promote the Belgian culture to the members of the Stanford community.
Recently Belgica was contacted by the BAEF alumni association (East-Coast). They are hoping to expand their activities to the West-Coast, and especially to the bay-area. Therefore, on Friday 23th October 2009, Sandrine Dury and Alexis Krumme, who will serve as the local BAEF coordinators for the bay-area, will organize a get-together in San Francisco. Because many of the Belgians at Stanford are BAEF fellows or alumni, Belgica supports this event. This is also a good occasion to connect with our fellow compatriotes at UC Berkeley and UCSF. You will soon get an invitation by email for this event. Since Belgica is not directly connected to or supported by any foundation, all Belgians are invited to this event on Friday 23th October.
