Welcome to Friends of Iranian Culture at the California Institute of Technology (FICCIT)! As a registered student club at Caltech, our mission is to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for individuals intrigued by the diverse facets of Iranian culture, history, and traditions.

Through a variety of engaging events and programs, we aim to provide opportunities for cultural exploration, dialogue, and friendship.
We value collaboration and welcome input from our members. Have an idea for an upcoming event or program? Interested in sharing your passion for Iranian culture with others?
