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.
The English Conversation Program (ECP) matches American students with international students who would like to learn more about the 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.

The newsletter includes information about upcoming Global Engagement Nights, international film series screenings, cultural activities on campus and in Columbus, and resources available for students looking to engage with other Ohio State students.
