From: Prof. Elisabeth Gareis, Communication Studies
Interest in the Conversation Partners Program on the part of nonnative speakers has beenextraordinarily high, and we need more native students to create matches. Please encourage students who are native speakers of English to participate.
The program matches native and nonnative speakers of English for informal conversations and is a great way for native speakers to gain experience in communicating across language barriers, to expand their cultural knowledge, make friends, and build a network of professional contacts. To participate, students should be willing to commit to meeting their partner about one hour per week. Participants will receive a certificate at the end of the semester, which is a great way to enhance one’s resume.

Thank you!
