Conversation Partners Program

The Conversation Partners Program aims to promote inclusion at Brown by pairing individuals with diverse language backgrounds for regular conversation in English and cultural exchange. In the program, multilingual students and Brown staff members are paired for a semester and meet a minimum of twice per month for informal English speaking practice.
