We’re Still Here!

The world is a little crazy right now. Many of us are feeling uncertainty and worry about the future of our international friends. We want you to know that MFIS is an independent, non-profit organization, supported by volunteers and donations from our local community. We are still here, working hard every day, to provide all-inclusive programs and events that welcome, encourage, and support our UW international students, scholars, and their families.

Since 2017, over 4,000 students from 78 countries have been welcomed to Wisconsin and introduced to Madison through MFIS activities. The need for forming connections with those who are making a new home in Madison is, and will continue to be, greater than ever. We are grateful for the unwavering dedication of all of you, and we encourage you to continue to volunteer and stay involved with MFIS.

Together we can navigate these unsettled times and make a lasting impact on Madison’s international community.
