What is the International Friendship Club?
The International Friendship Club is UFIC’s matching program between UF international student/scholars/spouses and Gainesville community. The main goal of the program is to develop and strengthen a cross-cultural friendship. Volunteers will be asked to meet together once a month or quarter throughout the year to celebrate holidays and special occasions, for coffee, movies, shopping, etc. to develop their cross-cultural communication and friendship, and to share their respective cultures. Contact Nargiza Rakhimova at 352-273-1531 (or email rnargiza@ufl.edu) to find out the next orientation date and application process. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO HOME STAY OR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION REQUIRED BY THE CLUB!
