Dear Faculty,

Building community is important, especially as we transition out of the pandemic.

Please announce the following opportunity for students to connect:

The Conversation Partners Program (CPP) matches native and nonnative speakers of English for informal conversations. It is a great way for nonnative students to gain confidence in English, for native speakers to gain experience in communicating across language barriers, and for both native and nonnative speakers to expand their cultural knowledge, make friends, and build a network of professional contacts. To participate, students should be willing to commit to meeting their partner at least six times this semester for about one hour. The meetings between students as well as all events this semester will take place online.

For more information and to sign up, see http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/cpp

The deadline for signing up is Sunday, Sept. 18.
