International students will be arriving in large numbers in Springfield this summer from around the world to attend classes at Missouri State University. They don’t know anyone and need a friend to help in navigating the campus and immediate community. Please consider partnering with the International Friends Program by becoming a friend to one of these students.
Sign up to be a friend for one semester and meet with the student once a month to introduce them to the American culture and make them feel welcomed to the community. In return you will learn about their country and culture and gain a life-long friend in the process.
Sign up now at www.international.missouristate.edu/friends. Contact Joyce Eddy, Coordinator of International Friends, at 836-8943 for more information.
