International Alumni and Friends

University of Arizona International and the Alumni Association have joined efforts in order to help overseas alumni stay connected to the University of Arizona through activities, celebrations and online correspondence.

The International Network helps you stay connected with the University, with Arizona alumni in your geographic area, and with fellow members of the Wildcat family around the globe. The Office of International Alumni and Development Initiatives and the University of Arizona Alumni Association encourage you to become involved in the University of Arizona International Network in your region or country!
