Welcome to the Pace University Conversation Group Program! Improve your English, share your culture and meet new people. This special program offered by Pace's International Academic Support department gives Pace students the opportunity to meet and practice their speaking skills.
My partner is a really good friend of mine now. Since I met her, we feel close to each other and she also introduced me to her friends. I'm really appreciated that. She always tries to help me get over my bad feelings like when I feel homesick, stressful about my exams and other things. In person, she is nice and kind.
