Created
in 2001 by Dr. Harold Barber, Global Connections was designed
to provide an avenue to address the social, academic and cultural
interests of the international student community at the Takoma
Park/Silver Spring Campus. Currently, more than one third of
the Takoma Park/Silver Spring students are non-US citizens.
Over the years, we have sponsored a number of activities in
collaboration with other units of the campus. These include F-1
orientation, transfer workshop and kick-off registration
sessions. We have also brought in experts to discuss consumer
education and health insurance matters.
The
most recent additions to Global Connections include “Conversations” and the
“International Buddy Program”. “Conversations” was launched
based on the student survey results indicating a significant
interest among students in enhancing their oral communication
skills. The International Buddy Program was designed to provide
a mentoring relationship between current international students
and Montgomery College alumni.
