Language House Coffee Conversation
The purpose of the Coffee Conversation is to provide you with a chance to practice, improve, or maintain your language skills in an informal, relaxed setting. In order to help you improve your skills, a native or near-native "facilitator" guides or oversees each Coffee Conversation group.

International Student Support Group
Unfamiliarity with U.S. social norms may make interactions with North American students confusing. The Counseling Center's International Student Group provides a place each week for international students to meet other students who are adjusting to the United States and the university, learn from each other about adjusting to a new culture, share information, and practice speaking English.

International Film Series
