The International House

Kemp Hall

Kemp Hall construction began in 1903 and was completed in 1906. Kemp was acquired by IWU in 1912 and has served the University in a variety of functions, including that of a residence hall. This building is occupied by students participating in the International House Program.

The International House is designed to provide a living/learning experience for a select group of both domestic and international students.  Residents are encouraged to develop a broader perspective on human affairs, a greater openness of the world and a higher level of engagement with global problems.  Students who are chosen to live in the house play a key role in fostering the internationalization of the IWU campus community through sponsored events like International Carnivale and Global Café.  Through involvement in the International House, students create and contribute to a genuine "community."

This hall has remained extremely popular among upper-class students because of its home-like environment, spacious rooms, and the strong community from the International House Program.  A number of single, double and triple-occupancy rooms are available in this coed facility with a total capacity of 30 men and women.
