TALK Program - American University

TALK brings groups of U.S. and international students together for conversations about culture and intercultural communication. All U.S.

Some session themes include:

* cultural identity
* culture clash
* international cooking
* intercultural relationships
* cultural values

Activities and discussions are guided by TALK facilitators to ensure students have the opportunity to get to know one another, to share their own cultures, and to challenge the complexity of cultural differences within a trusted environment.

TALK is not a club but a program where the same group of students, selected through an application process, commit to an 8-week program. and international students (undergraduate and graduate) are invited to apply. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in intercultural awareness and getting to know a small, diverse group of students on campus. There are no readings or assignments -- only a commitment to the program and an openness to engage in activities and discussions!

American Friends Welcome Party

American Friends is a program for International Students. It aims to partner international students with American friends in Washington, D.C. We believe that through these relationships, international students will be given the opportunity to experience parts of American culture that aren't available at college.

We will have a Welcome Party on Monday, Aug. 25, at 6 p.m. in McDowell Formal Lounge. At the party you will be provided dinner and information about the program. You will also have a lot of opportunity to meet American partners who are looking to befriend you!

It is all for free!
