The Office of International Programs and Extended Studies would like to invite interested faculty, staff and students to join the Ithaca College International Students Friendship Network. We are looking for dedicated IC students, faculty and staff to serve as Cultural Partners for our new international students.
The initial meeting of the Network will be this Wednesday, August 16, at 2 pm in Job 209 and we welcome new members! If you may be interested, please read below and complete the brief online application.

· Have a strong desire to help others
· Are interested in showing people around IC and Ithaca
