The Lion Cousins is a mentor program designed to help students learn about the different cultures represented on-campus. American and international students are paired up for one semester or for an entire year. Participants are expected to attend two planned events every semester, as well as meet with their “cousin” twice a month for lunch, dinner, to hang out, or participate in an activity together. Lion Cousins is a great way to learn more about another culture, make new friends, and have some fun!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For more information or to sign up, please complete the online application at <a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/studentLife/campusServices/internationalStudentServices/Programs.aspx">http://www.tamuc.edu/studentLife/campusServices/internationalStudentServices/Programs.aspx</a>.
