International Friendship Program

The CIEP International Friendship Program is a way for students to learn American culture and conversation skills in the community. If a student is interested in having a meal once a month with a family in Cedar Falls or Waterloo, then this is the program to join! These families want to learn more about international students and their cultures by being host families. Students will not live with the families, but will visit them and participate in family activities together.  To read more about experiences with host families, view the article: "UNI helps create international friendships."
