Welcome Week 2022
Do you remember your first days arriving in Charlottesville or your first arrival in a nation you had not visited before? We are going to welcome NEW international students this August and let them know we're glad they are here in Virginia. We need YOU to help us. A sewing club has volunteered its time to craft hand-sewn welcome bags. We will fill them with small items to create a set of lovingly-prepared care packages.

ISI loves to match international students and visiting scholars with local American volunteers to practice conversational English. These volunteers are well trained, culturally sensitive, nice people, and they are excellent at helping your English jump to the next level 🙂
Your Language Partner will meet with you to practice conversational English, help with any grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation questions you have, and discuss interesting topics related to your home culture, American culture, faith, food, the bible, family, society, and academics.
Language Partners can meet online or in person. They usually meet for one hour once per week, as it works for both parties.
