Join the International Center and the Planet Blue Ambassador program to explore Nichols Arboretum and connect with nature right on campus! We will walk the trails, talk about how to experience wellness through spending time in nature, make trail mix, and see what plant and animal wildlife we can spot right in Ann Arbor. This program will have a nut-free trail mix.
Come play a pick-up soccer game with the IC! This game will be played at Hubbard Road Recreation Field on North Campus. All are welcome!
This will be a very casual game and is meant for meeting other international students and scholars. We recommend bringing athletic clothing, cleats/gym shoes, and a water bottle (Hubbard Field does not have a drinking fountain).
Join us for a special evening as members of the U-M community share personal stories of living, learning, and growing in new places—whether that’s studying abroad or navigating life as an international student in the U.S. Hear candid accounts of funny, moving, eye-opening, and transformative moments that shape our global journeys, both near and far. Celebrate cultural insights, new perspectives, and the power of storytelling with our international community.
Light refreshments provided. All are welcome!
