Meeting Other International Students and Scholars

Do you want to meet international students and scholars at Harvard from your home country? You may email your name, country and date of birth (for identification purposes) to the HIO and we will send you that information.  Contact information for students and scholars who have authorized the HIO to release their information will be sent to you.

You may also reach out to any International Student Clubs at Harvard if you wish to.

The Multicultural Staff, Faculty, & Researchers Association (MSFRA) provides a platform for multicultural Harvard staff, faculty, & researchers to create sustainable professional networks and to foster career development, by enhancing cross-cultural communication, international awareness, cooperation, and cultural diversity. ​

The Harvard Language Center offers an informal language practice program for Harvard affiliates through the Language Exchange Program. This program provides members of the Harvard community the possibility of practicing informal conversation with a partner who speaks their target language. The purpose of the language exchange, or "tandem," is to allow partners equal time to practice their desired languages. All Harvard community members, including spouses and partners of faculty, staff, students, and visiting scholars, as well as alumni and retired faculty and staff, are eligible to participate in the exchange. 

Harvard College students are invited to join the Woodbridge International Society. Woodbridge is a Harvard College student organization “to support international college students and foster the international community." All international students at Harvard College are automatically members and are welcome to attend events hosted by Woodbridge.
