International Connect Welcome Program

The University of Michigan has a long and distinguished history of international graduate education. Each year, Rackham welcomes over 700 new international students from dozens of countries across the world. Any graduate student — domestic or international — may volunteer with the International Connect (I-Connect) Welcome Program to help give new international students a friendly introduction to the University and life in Ann Arbor.

About the Program

I-Connect provides a friendly, peer-based welcome to incoming international students during their first year at the University of Michigan, while also providing an opportunity for existing University of Michigan graduate students to connect with students from around the world.
