Hosts for International Students Needed! Spring International Language Center, the intensive English language program at UA, is seeking current undergrad students who are interested in helping out with a three-week program of English immersion for undergraduate students from Japan.  The program is from February 17 to March 9.  It involves approximately 15 hours per week of your time but you WILL be compensated.  You will also need to have (or have regular access to) a car because there are times that you will need to take the Japanese students home.  Students who are interested in other cultures and helping international students acclimate to our culture are encouraged to contact Alannah Massey at alannah@uark.edu for more information.
