On Saturday, April 12, 2025, facilitators and participants from ELI’s long-running Conversation Circles program came together in Weiser Hall for the fourth annual Spring Has Sprung all-circles gathering. This fun event featured breakfast treats, games, and stylish ELI swag as prizes. Several participants brought along friends and family to share in the fun. Spring definitely sprang!
For over 30 years, ELI’s Conversation Circles have connected international students and scholars with volunteer facilitators—U-M students, staff, and faculty—for casual English practice and meaningful cultural exchange.
If you are interested in joining or facilitating a Conversation Circle in Summer 2025, check out our website for more details.
A sincere thank you to the friends of ELI who donated during U-M’s Giving Blueday campaign. Your generosity helps make special gatherings like this one possible.
