Volunteer Language Exchange Program (VLEP)

This program matches volunteers with complementary interests in language and culture.  Students volunteering in the VLEP meet with their respective Conversation Partners every week to practice each other’s languages and learn about each other’s cultures. The sessions are friendly and informal.

Intercultural Development and Leadership Program 

This popular, interactive program was designed to build intercultural awareness in a diverse group setting, as well as develop leadership, public speaking, conflict resolution, and facilitation skills. Participants will meet once a week for 8 sessions throughout one academic term – participants must attend all sessions in order to receive recognition on the Co-Curricular Record. Past participants have emphasized that the confidence and self-awareness they developed during this program have been invaluable in their personal, academic, and professional lives.
