The International Friendship Program provides local citizens with an opportunity to meet and befriend international residents who are new to our community. No housing is involved. Hosts provide guests with a personal link to Centre County, its unique culture, its many places of interest, and its warm hospitality.

GC's International Friendship Program was established in the 1970's to offer support and friendship to international newcomers both on campus and in the community, and to provide cultural exchange.
