International students face many obstacles on their journey to a US education, even before ever arriving in the US.

To learn more, we invite you to join us for a special interaction simulation workshop on March 13th from 2:30 to 5 PM. RSVP at the link in our bio. U of A students staff, faculty, & NWA community members are all welcome to attend!

This August, a total of 113 new international students, scholars, & family members participated in Dinner in an American Home. This special event invites new students to have a homecooked meal with an American family to welcome them to Northwest Arkansas. Students were hosted by 17 different Friendship Family Hosts with the iFriend Program! 🏡♥️
