As members of the Ames community, we want to be servants to the people and systems that make up our city.
In our city, there are thousands of internationals from all over the world who study at Iowa State University. Join our conversation partners program and you will be connected with an international student that you can meet up with 1-on-1. This is a great way to help an international student improve their English, get adjusted to life and culture in the United States, and find community and friendship during their time here.
