What are Conversation Circles?
Students can choose one of two time blocks to meet with their circle: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM or 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM.
They are groups of ELI students matched with one fluent English speaking volunteer. The volunteer may be a UMBC student or ELI faculty or staff. The volunteer has agreed to meet with 4 to 5 ELI students once a week for casual, free conversation in the UC student lounge.
