The International Families Outreach Program (IFOP) serves spouses and families of international students and scholars of U-M community. IFOP offers a variety of resources to reduce stress and isolation and to help international students, scholars, and family members to form supportive local networks.

International families have unique assets and needs emerging from their different cultural backgrounds and personal circumstances. Our collaborative program involves a team of scholars, community residents, volunteers and service providers in implementing services to meet the needs and draw upon the strengths of international students.
