This year's celebration will be held at Sinclair Community College's Charity Earley Auditorium. The event features the Keynote Speaker Robert Stokes, Jr., of Peace Trees Vietnam. His keynote address is entitled "Humanitarian Demining and Citizen Diplomacy in War-Torn Vietnam." Bring a friend, member or not, and enjoy the company, the food, and bid on the silent auction and raffle that benefits JCOWA Programming! Members get discounts on tickets as well. For the speaker biography and event specifics, please see our Facebook event page. Tickets for the Annual Dinner can be purchased via Eventbrite: https://bit.ly/364G1qx. 

Build global connections! International Friendship Families matches UD international students with local community members for a semester-long partnership, on a flexible schedule.

Exchange your favorite family traditions and enjoy a cross-cultural experience on your own schedule! Make a difference as you help students adapt to language barriers, culture shock and a new academic culture. This is not a home-stay program.
