Information:

World on Wednesdays (WOW!) is a forum for student, staff, and faculty presentations and informal conversations, featuring a different topic of global interest each week. All are welcome to participate as presenters and conversation leaders, or to attend as audience members. (Participation earns you a stamp in your IPO Passport!)

International Coffee Corners and Language Circles is a monthly event where students, staff, and faculty can come and explore cultures, tastes, and languages from around the world. (Participation earns you a stamp in your IPO Passport!)

ELP Field Trips are offered weekly to interesting destinations around the Chicagoland area and Northwest Indiana. These cultural excursions are offered to ELP students only, in order to help students practice their English, learn about American culture, and become more familiar with this region of the country.

Airport Pick-Ups are offered at no additional cost just before the start of every semester to new international students. For more information, click here: Airport Pick-Up and Housing Information Form.

New International Student Orientation is a mandatory program for all new international students, designed to help them get settled in their new environment, answer their questions, give them the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends, and prepare them for a fantastic start to their academic adventure in the US.
