English Corner:

English Corner is a year-long activity in which American and International students gather to do activities and discuss various cultural topics while making new friends. The discussion topics range from surface issues like food and holidays to deeper issues like our definitions of success and changes we would like to see in the world. English Corner meets on the first floor of the Jim D. Morris Center from 4:00-5:30 on various Fridays throughout the year. The remaining dates this semester are January 27, February 10, February 24, March 9, and March 30. Feel free to stop by and check out English Corner, even if you can only come one time. If you have questions, please visit the ELI or IS website or email Kristina Moller at moller838@live.missouristate.edu.
