Events

The thrust of IFP is twofold: 1) to wecolme first time international students to SMU by picking them up at the airport and taking them to their local destination and 2) to facilitate meaningful one on one friendships between the American partners and their students.  

There are several other organizations and events which offer you an excellent opportunity to hang out with your friendship partner, make new friends, and enjoy various cultural experiences!
