G'LocalWhere global and local friends meet

G'Local is a program that matches new international students with US students to form a co-mentorship program where each student learns from each other.

How it works:

• Each first-year international student who signs up is matched with a U.S. student, usually a sophomore, junior or senior
• U.S. students encourage new international mentees to get involved, both socially and academically 
• International students learn about campus activities, events, and ideas they may not have found easily on their own
• U.S. students learn from the international students' unique perspectives on life and culture here
• Both students learn about each other’s cultures and backgrounds

Why participate in G’Local?

• Make friends
• Learn something new about another culture
• Contribute to the intercultural community on campus
• Prepare for the global workplace
