The International Friendship Program helps Greater Lansing area residents get to know and establish mutually rewarding relationships with MSU international students. It provides a chance for the international student to get to know an American individual or family and feel welcome in the community while providing the family a unique opportunity to travel at home and learn about another country, culture and language.

Note:  We are very sorry that at this time, we are unable to accept applications from Humphrey Scholars, Visiting Faculty or Visiting Staff.

Spending time with an American participant in IFP gives international students an opportunity to learn about American culture and the community outside of the MSU campus. 
   
If you're interested in spending time with an American friend while you are here at MSU, please email cvipmsu(at)gmail.com for an application and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
