Summer Opportunities at the English Language Institute


Are you looking for a way to be a part of the university's global outreach? 

Take advantage of the opportunity to become a Conversation Circles Leader.

Conversation Circles is a program offered through the English Language Institute (ELI), designed to connect non-native and native English speakers in small groups for a weekly hour of cross-cultural conversations.
Leading a group is a great way to
  -- fulfill a community service requirement
  -- broaden your cross-cultural experience
  -- strengthen your resume
  -- explore language learning issues
  -- have some "no-homework" fun chilling out with a small group of international students  at your favorite Ann Arbor hangout

To learn more about the program and sign up to be a leader, check out our website at http://sitemaker.umich.edu/conversation/
If you know anyone else who might be interested in being either a group leader or a group member, by all means pass the URL on to them.
Registration is open now! (Participant sign-up will begin on May 21, so register your group soon!)

Also, mark your calendars: new leader orientation will tentatively be held on May 24 (Thursday) from 4:00 - 5:00 pm, in 411 West Hall.
Please RSVP either way; if you have a schedule conflict, we'll work out an alternative.

If you have any questions, please e-mail CircleUp-Questions@umich.edu Thank you!
