Explore with the IEP

The IEP assists students with finding events on-campus and in the Raleigh area where they can engage with American students and community members and have fun! As a part of the Conversation and Presentation Skills class, students attend events, complete interviews with IEP student workers, and give a class presentation about their experiences.

End of Semester Party

At the end of every term, the Intensive English Program hosts a party for students, staff, faculty, as well as for employees from other departments that support the IEP. It is a celebration of everyone’s accomplishments and is a time to relax, share memories, and enjoy each other’s company. It always includes food, awards, gifts, and lots of fun!

If you enjoy playing sports, there are many intramural teams you can be a part of. Intramural sports are recreational sports teams where students play against other teams. Students involved in intramural events are there to have fun, and it can be a great way to meet new friends. You do not have to be skilled in a sport to join. You can even organize your own group of friends and make a new team.
