Welcome to the Virtual CMU Neighborhood! The Virtual Neighbors program, sponsored by the Office of International Education (OIE), facilitates contact among people in the CMU community. Students can be matched with members of the CMU administrative staff or other international students. Neighbors agree to get together virtually once a month or so at convenient times, for the length of the academic year. Conversation prompts will be provided monthly, to give you engaging and fun ways to interact. Release forms will be available for you to sign. When matches are made, participants are informed via email. This program is part of the Host Family Program for International Students, now in its fifth year. If you have questions, please contact
hostfamily@andrew.cmu.edu. Thank you!
