Global Connections

As part of the English Language Center’s commitment to giving both our international and domestic students a complete cultural experience, we have created a collaboration called the Global Connections Program.

Global Connections pairs an international student with a student from the United States to practice English, learn more about American culture, and build connections within the UTSA community.

For Domestic Students:

Are you interested in meeting people from all over the world? Do you need volunteer hours?

The Global Connections Program is a great opportunity for you. By volunteering just one hour a week, you can broaden your horizons and enhance an international student’s experience.

For International Students:

Meet students from the United States who will help you immerse yourself in American and San Antonian culture. You’ll meet new friends and experience new adventures in the U.S.
