The GLOBAL BRIDGE Program
The GLOBAL BRIDGE Program is designed to bridge the gap between the languages, cultures and students represented at WSU.
International students and domestic students are paired up and encouraged to meet with each other to learn and share about each others culture and language. This program is a great way to meet new people, learn about other cultures, and even prepare you for studying abroad! Many students get involved in The GLOBAL BRIDGE Program as a Campus Friend, Language Partner or both! For more information, email global.bridge.program@wsu.edu.
Campus Friends
Campus Friends often go out together to explore and enjoy the various fun activities around the campus and the area. They have coffee, try out new food at restaurants or cook for each other, relax and enjoy Coffee Hour and other programs at the International Center, play sports together, go to Cougar Events (concert, musical, theater show, nuthouse, movies, football games, etc.), and much more.
Language Partners
Language Partners do many of the same things as Campus Friends, with more emphasis placed on language exchange. This program is meant to foster and promote language learning in a real life setting, outside of a traditional classroom.
Application
