International Friendship Program

Tiffin University has a host program for incoming international students called the TU International Friendship Program. As a participant in the program you will be paired with a University faculty/staff member or community representative with whom you may visit, enjoy an occasional meal, celebrate holidays, participate in community sports and cultural events, or just relax in conversation. This will be an opportunity for you to experience American life in a non-university setting and learn first hand about our culture.

If you are interested in participating in the TU International Friendship Program, applications will be distributed during the International Student Orientation or you can pick up an application at TU International Services. You can also apply online. Your obligations as a participant are to accept your "Friend's" invitations whenever possible and to be willing to share your culture and enjoy the differences and similarities of the two countries. We encourage all international students to participate in this program. It will be a valuable experience in helping you to better understand American culture and in helping Americans to better.
