Journey to Jordan II   

           Arabic Language and Culture

               

 

The Journey to Jordan program is about Arabic language, and also about new friendships and understanding across cultures.

If you have friends or relatives in Amman, please ask them to consider hosting one (or two) of our wonderful student participants for four weeks this summer. It is a wonderful experience for all -- visit the "Student Quotes" page to read what students have said about it.

• 1) Families complete this questionnaire and send it to program coordinator Jay Harris, harrisja@uwgb.edu by May 8, if possible.  There is no absolute deadline, so it may be sent after that date if necessary.  The sooner we receive it, the better our opportunity to match a family to a student with similar interests.

• 2) After we receive the completed questionnaire, we will contact the family by telephone for a conversation. 

• 3) We will schedule an interview in your home, to be conducted by program staff in May or June.
