--Language Exchange Program
• This program an initiative to preserve Asian culture
through language and connect international students to
UF. The Language Exchange Program gives students the
opportunity to learn an Asian language in a personalized
one-on-one or small group setting. Those with fluency in
an Asian language will be paired with a student who is
interested in learning this language. We are currently
looking for both teachers and students to participate in
this program. For more information, contact APIA

• Deadline to apply is November 26th.
