Our Goal is Student Focused Programs!
Friendship Partner®
We invite you to join the International Friendship Partner® Program. Whether you’re a new student coming from another land, or an American family wanting to share love and learn more about other cultures, the International Friendship Partner® Program can make it possible to bring these two together and build relationships.
Conversational English Classes
ICF offers Conversational English Classes to UTD international students and spouses. These classes are usually only offered in the fall and spring semester, not in the summer.
At Home Group you will meet new American and international friends. At Home Group we always eat together, sing some American and Christian Songs or play some great group games to get to know each other. We also have as well as discussion groups and a good place to practice your English. Join us on week nights!
Big Howdy
Big Howdy is a group of campus organizations, local churches and community volunteers who are here to help you as you transition to living in Dallas, Texas. We offer airport pickups, a furniture giveaways and a Big Howdy Party at the start of the Fall and Spring semester.
