The club works closely with the other clubs in the Pugh Center and the Dean of Students Office.

Throughout the year the I-club sponsors various performances and activities that channel diverse customs and folk traditions to the college. Artists have included the Diwali Indian Festival of Lights dancers, Japanese Taiko drummers from Burlington. There is an international film festival, which the I-club hopes to become a semester event. Occasionally there are student dances with international music, movie visits to international films showing at the Railroad Square Cinema in Waterville, and crafts workshops in the Mary Low Coffeehouse or even kick-off nights at the Waterville Bowling Alley.

The I-club room is located on the first floor of the Pugh Center, third door on the left. It contains two Macintosh computers with internet connection, a stereo system, a TV with a video/DVD player, as well as a collection of books and videotapes of films from around the world.
