International Ambassadors Program
The Tilghman International Student Center recruits students every year to serve as International Ambassadors (IA) to provide hospitality and peer mentorship for new international students to adjust to their first year of college study and life at Drew. IAs assist with the International Student Orientation by helping new students move in, answering their questions, and shepherding them across the campus to complete different orientation tasks. Through the IA program, students develop leadership, intercultural, communication, problem-solving, as well as many other soft skills. Find out more here.
International Relations Major & Minor
International Relations is the study of the systems and structures that exist (or should exist) to address global concerns. Drew offers both a major and a minor in this field and provides students with great experiential learning opportunities. For more information, please visit the department’s homepage.

Conversation Partners Program
At the beginning of each semester, the Tilghman International Student Center recruits domestic students to pair with international students to help improve their English speaking abilities and overall knowledge about the U.S. In this eight-week program, conversation partners meet and have an hour-long casual conversation every week. Students decide what they want to talk about and when they meet every week. Interested? Reach out to Tilghman Staff Michelle Coles today.
Tilghman Photo Club
The Tilghman Photo Club is a place for international and domestic students to meet, bond, and share their love for photography. Club members get together every other week to learn about famous photographers as well as new photography concepts and techniques. They also go on excursion tours on and off-campus as a group to practice and polish their signature styles of photography. Want to get involved? Email Tilghman Staff Eliza Wittman.
Student-Taught Language & Culture Courses
In order to benefit the greater Drew community with the precious cultural treasures that our international students bring, the Tilghman International Student Center recruits courageous international students every semester to teach a class on their native culture and mother tongue one hour per week for 10 weeks. In the past, we have offered Korean, Japanese, Chinese calligraphy, with dozens of Drew students, staff and faculty participating. Interested in being an instructor or signing up for a class?
