Faculty, Scholar & Family Programming

Held at the beginning of fall and spring semesters, this event is for new international scholars and their families. Meet the ISSC Faculty and Scholar team and build your network with other scholars and families while getting important information to help you thrive.

Past Welcome events have featured resource fairs, insightful guest speakers, and critical information regarding immigration, campus resources, and future programs. We invite our continuing scholars to share their experience with new scholars at upcoming welcome events. If you are interested in participating, please contact us at [email protected].

The Scholar Event series offers unique cultural outings, networking opportunities, and social events each semester. We've enjoyed some great activities in the past, like a hike up ‘A’ Mountain, a tour of the ASU Art Museum, and a special "hidden gem" event, to name a few. The International Scholar Research Showcase, an event in the fall, is designed to spotlight the innovative research and significant contributions of international scholars.

This casual, recurring gathering offers an opportunity for international faculty and scholars to meet, relax, and build community. Each Coffee Hour features a different topic creating a fun and engaging way to connect with others and explore life at ASU.

This program hosts events to foster community among international families at ASU. Through social events, cultural exchange, and shared experiences, we aim to build a supportive and inclusive community. Join us for our popular fall seasonal gatherings, Spouse Coffee Hours, and spring’s ISSC Chef Table event.

Our ISSC Chef’s Table event invites international faculty, scholars and their families to come together and explore a variety of global cuisines. Attendees can taste dishes prepared by ISSC chefs and discover favorite recipes from international scholars. Explore the ISSC Family Cookbook for more delicious dishes and cultural favorites.
