The Office of International Affairs, through the Global Engagement program, has developed creative programming to increase opportunities for international students to get involved and facilitate growing relationships between international students and the Ohio State campus community through social, cultural and educational activities.
With a focus on outreach to the campus community, student leadership and cross-cultural education, the Office of International Affairs continues to collaborate with students, faculty and staff to create opportunities for everyone to become more globally engaged.
Get involved
The English Conversation Program matches domestic students with international students who would like to learn more about American language and culture. Students meet every week throughout the semester to practice communication skills and exchange their cultural knowledge.
The Office of International Affairs hosts a variety of workshops to support international students' academic and professional growth.
