The English Speaking Club (ESC) meets Thursdays in the Center Room in Pierpont Commons on North Campus from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Come early (anytime after 4:15 pm) for the ESC Mixer so you can meet new people and start conversations. Join with other International and English-speaking graduate students to practice your English conversation skills. We discuss in groups American English idioms and slang, American culture and holidays, and even presentation and job interview skills. We have great fun together at the ESC Meetings and at the ESC Parties in American homes. The ESC starts again Thursday afternoon, September 9, 2010.

All U-M Master, Ph.D. and Professional School graduate students are welcome to participate in the ESC, and Post-Docs and Visiting Scholars, too. Invite your friends to come with you. The English Speaking Club (ESC) is a free service of GradCru. There is no obligation, expectation, or pressure to be involved in any other activities or events that GradCru offers. Because many who are involved with the ESC are interested, a few times each semester we do inform the entire ESC about the other opportunities that GradCru offers. You are welcome to participate in them if you desire. Email esc.umich@gradcru.org for more information.
