Join the International Center for a day of fall fun at Plymouth Orchards and Cider Mill! With apple cider and donuts, pumpkin patches, hayrides, and local music, you will get the chance to celebrate and enjoy classic Michigan fall activities.
Transportation will be covered by the International Center, but you are responsible for paying for food/activities at the cider mill. Entrance into the cider mill is free.
Registration will open on Sunday, October 19 at 12 PM.
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).

Celebrate cultural insights, new perspectives, and the power of storytelling with our international community.
Light refreshments provided. All are welcome!
