The Innternationale is very different from any other housing available.
The difference is in the environment and the program. Imagine a place
where you can say “bom dia”(good morning) in Portuguese to a friend in
the morning and “bonne nuite” (good night) in French to another.
Special attention was taken by Randy Becker, the founder and architect,
to insure the Innternationale promotes a friendly and safe environment
for all.

programs in the Conference Center. With all these activities there is never a
lack of things to do or learn at the Innternationale.

successfully for decades in cities such as New York, Chicago, Paris and
Philadelphia and have garnered an enviable list of Alumni leaders including Henry
Kissinger, Japanese automotive executive Tatsuro Toyoda, The President of
Malawi, as well as Nobel Prize winning scientist.The INNternationale has been created with the
expectation of achieving a similarly illustrious Network benefiting the University of Delaware
and enhancing our state’s future prospects as a center of international
corporate headquarters and foreign investment.

guidance and consultation of selected scholastic chairpersons and directors

Language Communication Session (6pm - 8pm)
Every Monday and Thrusday the INN hosts a special language tutoring session by a campus ministry. This has been very successful with an average of 20-40 tutors and international students, both residents and the greater university community.
