Global Partners Program
The Global Partners program pairs first-year international students and domestic students to meet once a month for social and intellectual events--films, coffee, campus events, concerts, etc. The Global Partners program is a one semester commitment. These casual meetings help first-year students adjust to campus life and expose both domestic and international participants to new cultures and perspectives. Global Partners is a casual, fun opportunity to gain intercultural competency, which is essential for success in our increasingly interconnected world. 
Apply now through September 10th, 11:59 p.m.
