Program Description:
Thank you for your interest in the Ithaca College International Students Friendship Network!

The primary goals of the International Student Friendship Network are to welcome the newly arrived international students to our campus to create a supportive environment for our international students and to foster a global mindset in students, faculty, and staff through meaningful interaction and shared experiences with international students. To achieve these goals, we need dedicated IC students, faculty, and staff to serve as Cultural Partners for newly arrived international students. We are looking for people who:
  • Have an interest in learning about other cultures and global events
  • Have a strong desire to help others
  • Are interested in showing people around IC and Ithaca
  • Are interested in sharing U.S. culture
  • Are IC undergraduates (sophomore, junior or senior year), graduate students, faculty or staff members. 
If you meet the qualifications above, please click on the Register/Apply button above to begin the application process. If you are chosen to participate, you will be informed via email 2-4 weeks prior to the start of the Fall or Spring semester.
 
Additional program details: 
  • Cultural Partners are paired with newly arrived international students
  • The commitment is for one semester.
  • Cultural Partners must attend a training program - more information will be provided if you are chosen to participate.
  • Cultural Partners are asked to meet with their international students once every two weeks for a minimum of one hour.
  • There will be two optional group activities for everyone in the International Student Friendship Network each semester
  • An end of the semester party will bring everyone together to celebrate their experience and to provide feedback on the program.
