International Peer Advisor Liaison (i-PAL) Program

The International Peer Advisor Liaison (i-PAL) program is intended for international degree-seeking students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This program is designed to help new international students get acclimated to our campus, surrounding community, and expectations in the U.S. classroom.  iPals are key to providing a welcoming environment for other international students at orientation and throughout the academic year.

If you’re interested in becoming an iPAL, contact isss@uncg.edu.

I-House

The International House—or I-House, as it is most commonly called—is home to students from all over the globe, including those from the U.S. I-House is located in the Tower Village Residence Hall. It is a residential community with an international twist! Built European-style (single rooms with shared common areas), I-House is open to all students (freshmen to graduate students) with a particular interest in learning from and living with people from other parts of the world.

International Coffee Hours

In conjunction with the International Students Association and the iPALs, IPC hosts international coffee hours throughout the semester to offer space for intercultural connections and community building for international students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested in learning more about all things global at UNCG! Some coffee hours will feature presentations by UNCG students, staff, or faculty about a specific country or culture, while other sessions are open for general discussion and networking. Visit the IPC events calendar to view upcoming topics for international coffee hours each semester.
