ISTMP supports ISC's promotion of tolerance, good will and understanding in our increasingly global world.
Having actual experiences with Americans help open doors and opportunities to students while tutors/mentors gain knowledge and better understanding of other cultures.
Through the International Student Center, tutors/mentors enlist students as ambassadors to return to their native countries and talk to their friends and families about their real time hands on experience with an American family.
Through this program, students improve their overall academic performance, understand cross-cultural differences and enhances their life experiences while in America.
Given the relationships built, the program can ensure the image conveyed about USA and its people is a positive one.
What can be more satisfying than a long lasting friendship between people from all over the globe.
