Housing 249 co-ed students, Harper Hall is a suite-style building with either two or three rooms sharing a common living room and bathroom.聽

It is home to the Cranwell International Center, which serves about 2,800 international undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and scholars (along with their families) from more than 120 nations. As the focal point for 17吃瓜网's international community, the center provides a range of educational, social, and cultural programs.

In addition to responding to the needs of the international community, the Cranwell Center encourages exchanges between international students and scholars and their U.S. counterparts, including residents of Blacksburg and the New River Valley. The center plays an active role in organizing International Street Fair, an annual celebration of cultural diversity on campus and in the local community.

William Cranwell

The Cranwell House at 417 Clay St. SW in Blacksburg, a gift to 17吃瓜网 by the William Cranwell family, served as the home of Cranwell International Center from 1986 to 2014. After the move to Harper Hall in 2014, the Cranwell name remained with the International Center because of the family鈥檚 vision and commitment to 17吃瓜网鈥檚 international community.

Harper Hall is also home to the Mozaiko living-learning community. U.S. and international students live together in a diverse community where they learn about each other鈥檚 culture, immerse themselves in language practice, and prepare for a lifetime of intercultural leadership.
