The CIEP offers several activities to introduce its students to American culture. One of those activities is the Conversation Partner Program, which matches you with a fluent English speaker from UNI. It will enable you to experience American culture and help you practice your English listening and speaking skills in a conversational setting.

“We have been able to have a real friendship in learning

about each other’s cultures.”

“This program helped me adjust to American culture and know about American

students’ lives.”

“Every experience with my conversation partner was valuable to me. It enabled me to broaden

my horizons.”
