The Marquette International Friendship Program creates year-long “friendship matches” between Marquette’s international students and Milwaukee community members.

When students arrive on Marquette’s campus, they are given the option to participate in the friendship program. If they choose to participate, they are matched with a volunteer community member.

The program then encourages the student and the community friend to learn about one another’s culture while they share leisure and family activities.

The program does not involve home-stays, just occasional get-togethers.
