Volunteers sought

The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) is seeking volunteers for its new "One-on-One Conversations Program: Connecting Across Cultures for Language and Culture Exchange."

The program allows the international student and scholar community at Yale to connect with the University and New Haven communities. Volunteers from Yale or from the New Haven community, including neighbors and friends, are welcome to participate. The time commitment is minimal. Benefits include gaining the opportunity to expand and refine cross-cultural understanding and communication skills, as well as spreading goodwill in the community.
