[Intl-stu] Apply now for the Lion Cousins program!

[International Students]

The application for the Lion Cousins program has been posted on the ISSO
website 
http://web.tamu-commerce.edu/studentLife/campusServices/internationalStu
dentServices/Programs.aspx.  International students may complete the
online application at the link that says "International students may
sign up here."    

 

The Lion Cousins is a mentor program that was created by an A&M-Commerce
international student in partnership with the International Student
Services Office (ISSO) at A&M-Commerce. The program is designed to help
students learn about the different cultures represented on campus.
American and international students will be paired up for either one
semester, or for the academic year. Lion Cousin participants are
expected to attend two events that will be planned by the ISSO every
semester as well as meet up with their "cousin" twice a month for a
meal, coffee, an activity, or just to hang out. This is a great way to
learn about the different cultures represented here at A&M-Commerce.

 

We will host a kickoff event on September 27 at 6:30pm in the Rayburn
Student Center 213AB.  This kickoff event is where you will meet your
Lion Cousin.  If you sign up for the program you will need to plan to be
at this kickoff event.  

 

Please contact sschirru at leomail.tamuc.edu or John.Jones at tamuc.edu with

Cousin program this fall semester.  This email is to let international

program please email John.Jones at tamuc.edu <mailto:John.Jones at tamuc.edu>
with your name and campus wide ID number.  

 

The tentative kickoff for this event will be in September and
registration will be online through our website.  Once we announce the
registration all A&M-Commerce students are invited to be a part of the
program.  Please read below for more about the program:  

 

Lion Cousins is a mentor program set up to help American students and
international students learn about each other's cultures.  International
student students will be paired up with an American student for either
one semester, or an entire academic year.  The expectation for the
program is that you will attend two planned events every semester with
your "Cousin," as well as meet up with your "Cousin" on a biweekly basis
for lunch, dinner, or just to hang out! This is a great way to learn
about the culture's of other countries, as well as help integrate
international students onto our campus!
