• Welcome the international exchange students to ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ and help them adapt to American - and Jacksonville - culture.
• Meet students from the country where they plan to study abroad and learn about their host culture before arrival.
• Experience internationalization at home by gaining skills, such as intercultural communication, foreign language, empathy, perspective-taking, critical thinking, and an overall global mindset.
