Undergraduate Resources

Looking to build confidence in your English and connect with others? Join our English Conversation Cafe on Friday afternoons from 2:30 to 3:30pm in Robert Wallace Hall. These informal meet-ups are a chance to practice speaking in a relaxed, supportive environment while exploring topics that matter for both your studies and future goals through short readings, podcasts, and other resources. Each session will focus on practical skills like getting set up for a successful term, growing your vocabulary, managing your time, writing from academic sources, and understanding academic integrity. All students are welcome, no matter your level of English. Come share ideas, learn together, and have fun while improving your communication skills.

No registration is required—just show up!
