Submit Your International Student Orientation Session Proposals

Do you have information about a part of our campus or community that you'd like to share with incoming international students? If so, you are invited to join FIUTS in welcoming over 2,000 new international students to the University of Washington as an information session presenter this September!

FIUTS International Student Orientation is a 10-day program for international undergraduate, graduate, and exchange students and scholars beginning their studies at the UW. The orientation program includes social events and informational sessions designed to introduce students to important resources on and off campus, make friendships, explore our city, and support a smooth transition to the UW community.

From Monday, September 21 through Friday, September 25th, over 40 information sessions will be offered to new international students on a variety of topics. Sessions take place in the HUB, with two to three sessions running concurrently, and each session lasting about 50-minutes. Attendance ranges from 25-150 students per session. This year, sessions will be offered in six thematic areas: Campus Resources, Seattle Community, American Culture, Jobs & Internships, Housing, and Health & Wellness. Sessions can be presented by multiple presenters - from campus and the community - and in various formats. We encourage collaborative, creative and interactive session proposals!

To Submit a Session Proposal

Please complete a short online session proposal form by July 13, 2015. Selected presenters will be notified and scheduled by the end of July.

On behalf of the new students joining our community, thanks in advance for your support!
