Social Events

Social events are an important part of the Towson ELC program. Friendships quickly develop as students learn about American culture and the cultures of all students studying at the ELC.  

Activities include a welcome party, off-campus trips, events related to American holidays, an annual International Festival, a final certificate reception, and more.

The International Festival is open to the entire Towson University community.  Students dress in traditional clothes, sing native songs, share delicious food from many countries,  perform dances, and teach games from their homeland.
