International Buddy Program Accepting Applications

The International Buddy Program (IBP) is a collaboration between the Office of International Programs and Services (OIPS) and INTO Mason and aims to build cross-cultural relationships between Mason’s international and domestic students while enjoying a variety of campus events and activities together. It is a great way to help international students feel more familiar with the campus and the Mason community, as well as to help American students explore the many different cultures represented among our international student population. This program is built on a foundation of conversation, cultural exchange, and friendship. We hope you can join us! 

The application period for Fall 2023 is open through September 4, 2023
