EXPECTATONS
International Friendship program is a great opportunity for international students at Indian Hills Community College to
experience American life and culture outside the college setting. Likewise, it is also a great opportunity for the family to
learn about diversity and world cultures. As a participant in the program, we recommend you to meet with your warrior
at least one time a month and keep in contact with them throughout their time at Indian Hills Community College. In
order for the student to get the full American culture experience, we also recommend that you involve your student in
simple activities such as; carving a pumpkin, attending a parade, making an American-style dinner, or any other activities
that you consider traditional. We also request that you spend time with your warrior during their birthday and holiday
breaks.
