From assisting with immigration paperwork to helping students adjust to life in Iowa, we are proud to be the first and last stop for international students' journeys at the UI.
We help students explore a variety of learning abroad options, including UI faculty-led programs, internships abroad, international service programs, and virtual opportunities.
We provide funding to send faculty all over the world to conduct international research.
From our linkages and partnerships to our connections with international alumni, we are deepening relationships and promoting discovery.

We cannot learn to live together if we do not live to learn from each other."
