If you're an international student who is just arriving
​in the Twin Cities, we're here to help.

Airport Pickups
​FREE | August 1st - September 1st
New Students Will Be Given Priority 

​Are you new to Minnesota? Are you researching how to get around the Twin Cities when you arrive? Our friendly volunteers will connect with you while you’re still in your home country, and pick you up from the MSP airport when you arrive. We'll drive you to your temporary residence until dorms and apartments open up. To sign up, please fill out the form below. (While new students will receive first priority, returning students are also welcome to request a ride.)
International Welcome Picnic
​​FREE | Saturday, August 29th
Our Annual Welcome Picnic is a great event to attend to meet new people and start to build friendships in Minnesota.
​
​We have held this annually since 2007. We look forward to seeing you there!
Short-Term Hosting
