When I was a student, I wish I knew how to connect with International Students.  At Maryville, we have an iPal (International Buddy) Program.  The goal of the iPal (International Buddy) Program is to build a strong connection between the Maryville community and international students through cultural exchange in an informal setting. Participants of the iPal (International Buddy) Program will be able to:

° Meet someone from another country                                                            

° Enhance Intercultural Communication Skills

° Learn about other cultures  

° Make life-long friends

Contact the Center for Global Education to join the iPal (International Buddy) Program.  dknaust@maryville.edu Tel: 314-529-6843.

Welcome to Maryville!
