About Us
International Connect is a registered student organization that seeks to help with the transition for international students at Texas State University. We provide practical tips on living in America, practice English and offer cultural exchange with dedicated mentors, and explore answers to life’s biggest questions through the Bible’s perspective. We are a Christian group that is open to anyone, especially those interested in learning more about Christianity or those who may want to grow in their Christian faith.
