Each fall thousands of new international students begin their studies at Ohio State.
IFI welcomes new and returning internationals by holding a Welcome Party at the Ohio Union.

We're honored to have the opportunity to connect with and serve our international friends. We’d love for you to help us serve them.

Due to catering costs, we ask that staff and volunteers DO NOT bring their children to this event.
