Register by September 15th to lead a Conversation Circle through 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. Undergraduates, graduate students and staff are all eligible.
Registration is open now! (The first wave of sign-ups will begin on September 15, so register your group soon!)

We will be holding an orientation session for first-time leaders on Monday, September 15, from 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM. Please do RSVP either way, to CircleUp-Questions@umich.edu. Even if you can't attend the orientation because of a schedule conflict, go ahead and register your circle at the link above, and we'll work out an alternative.

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