The Best of Summer is Still Ahead!
Hola *|FNAME|*
From Salsa at Sunset to language classes and community events, there’s still plenty of summer left to explore with Upstate International.
At a Glance
Summer is in Full Swing
Grab your sunglasses because the Carolina summer sun isn’t slowing down…and neither are we! 😎
We’ve got music, dancing, languages, global experiences, and plenty of opportunities to connect with amazing people.
Let’s make the rest of this summer one to remember together! ☀️
– El equipo internacional de Upstate 💃 🕺
P.S. We’re not sure about you, but our timelines are filled with people living it up in beautiful far-off places.
Tired of being a little peanut butter and jealous, we’ve decided to start highlighting ways to have global experiences without leaving the state.
Follow our social media to see what global inspirations we are finding right in the upstate.

Thank You for a Great AI Evening
What a night! Dr. Anne-Elisabeth Courrier from Nantes Université brought genuine clarity to a topic that can feel overwhelming, and the conversations that followed were exactly what this community is about.
A huge thank you to Dr. Anne-Elisabeth Courrier and the French Professional Society — and to everyone who came out!
Expat Lunch
You CAN sit with us 💅 😎 (no mean kids here)
The photos are in and they say it all.
There was food passed around, languages mixing mid-sentence, and plenty of that cool expat energy.
By dessert, it felt less like a lunch and more like a group chat you actually want to show up for.
Thank you to everyone who came to our latest expat lunch and made it such a warm afternoon.
Class is in Session
Hot polyglot summer has officially begun 🔥 🌎
A big welcome to everyone joining our summer language classes! 🎉
Come say your very first hola, bonjour, or konnichiwa with us, or pick up where you left off last semester. We’re so excited to have you learning with us!
Not-so-humble brag time 😏
We’re just going to say it, we’ve got a lot going on this summer. (read 18 classes…not including Salsa lessons)
I’m sorry, come again? Did you just say 18 classes?
Yes. Yes we did.
New languages to learn, new conversation clubs, and new ways to experience different cultures. Our class lineup is packed with more levels, and more ways to connect than before
Basically…we didn’t come to play this summer. 💪
We’ve made Hot Polyglot Summer a thing. 🔥
New conversations just dropped! 🌍✨
Say olá and konnichiwa to our newest Conversation Clubs, Portuguese and Japanese are officially here!
Come hang out, try out a few new words, and embrace the beautiful chaos of learning out loud (mistakes welcome, laughter guaranteed).
No tests, no pressure, just good people, great conversations, and your new favorite reason to show up during the week.
Something new is on its way…🎙️
We’ve been working on something a little different. A new voice. A new format. Be on the lookout. 🧐
