The Office of International Partnerships at Towson University wishes to inform you about a culture sharing opportunity with students from South Korea and Peru.
This past weekend, we welcomed to campus 60 students from South Korea and Peru. The OIP has created a program connecting these international students to local-area families with a purpose of facilitating dialogue and cross-cultural sharing in an informal setting.
Visiting a home in the United States provides a unique opportunity for students to observe and interact first hand with U.S culture. The OIP is seeking participation from 20-30 families this February.

- Minimum of one to invite students over for dinner.
