International Students & Scholars Office. Cornell International Friendship Program (CIFP) is a friendship program which connects international students and scholars with local community members and families. Mission. The International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) is committed to providing a broad range of support services to its students and scholars who have come to Cornell to study, teach or conduct research. Among the many resources that ISSO offers, the Cornell International Friendship Program matches students and scholars with alumni and other local community participants who are committed to providing cultural, educational and social support. This program is intended to enhance the lives of all participants who will share experiences, learn new skill sets, and build lifelong relationships. Popular activities may include sharing holiday dinners, sight- seeing, picnicking, shopping and including the student in family celebrations or events. Matching Process.
Local community volunteers are collaborating with the ISSO and the Office of Alumni Affairs to provide this service. International students/scholars and local community participants may register and enroll in the program by completing the appropriate online registration form.
Please note that CIFP is intended for those internationals who will be at Cornell for at least one full semester. Due to limited resources, CIFP is not available for those who are only here for summer programs. Once forms are submitted, matches will be made as soon as possible between international and local participants. This may require some time depending on availability. We are currently experiencing a shortage of local community participants, and so regrettably there may be a delay in the matching process.
Thank you for your patience. If you are a new student/scholar, we will not be matching you with a local community participant until near the time you arrive in the US. Once a match has been made, the participant and local community participant will both receive information about their match. The local participant is expected to make the first contact with the international student or scholar. The Role of the Local Community Participant. Local participants are expected to be a resource for international students and scholars who are seeking additional support as they adapt to a new environment.
