Become more globally minded
We know that in today’s fast-paced, socially connected world, having global awareness is essential. And what better way to find that awareness than making international connections on campus? Tippie makes it easy to find out what kind of cultures interest you without even leaving PBB.
Tippie Buddies
Experience a new culture at Tippie while sharing your culture with someone new. Through Tippie Buddies international and domestic students are paired together so that they can engage in cross-cultural learning and develop inter-cultural friendships. Throughout the semester, you'll regularly meet up with your buddy for lunch, coffee, studying, or anything that you enjoy doing. You will also be invited to attend free monthly large group events with everyone involved in Tippie Buddies.
