ENGLISH CONVERSATION PARTNERS NEEDED !

The Office of International Programs sponsored a group called Fusion which gave
international and American students a chance to connect with each other in a
relaxed, informal setting. At Fusion, several international students expressed
interest in having an English conversation partner who they could meet with
informally and at a time/place of their choosing just to talk. All of the students
are good in English, but would really like a conversation partner so they can gain
confidence in their English skills. Unfortunately, only a few American/native
English speakers have signed up. If interested in participating in this activity,
please contact Christina Marie Arnold at the Office of International Programs.
