English-in-Action (EIA)
The English-in-Action program matches English-speaking community volunteers with Stanford international graduate students, visiting scholars or spouses. Partners meet for one year, once a week for an hour of casual conversation and cultural exchange.
Matches are made during the whole year, but the majority are made during the Fall term when new students arrive at Stanford.
The EIA program has been in existence for 53 years and received Stanford's "Community Partnership" award in 2007. Each year, nearly 300 EIA partner matches are made. Many internationals and their EIA partners maintain contact even after the internationals leave Stanford.
