Summer program instructs international women

This week a group of young women came to Smith as part of the Smith College American College Immersion Program (ACIP). ACIP helps international students—for whom English is not a first language—succeed in an American college or university.

Smith College has partnered with the International Language Institute of Massachusetts in Northampton to bring English language instruction to the students participating in ACIP. In addition to 15 hours of language instruction weekly, the students will also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in American culture through trips to farmers’ markets, museums, concerts, and other colleges.

The students will be on campus until August 3.
