Welcome Aztecs to the Fall Term

Welcome to the Fall 2026 semester at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­! This is always an exciting time as we kick off a new academic year filled with opportunity, discovery, and global connection. I understand that, for some of you, the journey to get here was not easy. It took considerable planning, patience, and resilience. But you made it, and we are excited to have you here. Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ thrives because of its diverse community, bringing together people from around the world whose perspectives, cultures, languages, and experiences enrich our campus. I cannot emphasize enough that global engagement is foundational to an Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ education. Whether you are studying abroad, enrolling in transborder courses in Mexico, or participating in international events on campus, Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ is a place where you are encouraged to think globally and build intercultural competence. International Affairs is here to help you along the way. The International Student Center offers numerous programs, including weekly Cultural Hours that bring our community together, while the Global Education Office supports a wide range of study abroad programs all over the world as well as international internship opportunities. Wherever your Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ journey takes you this semester, the entire International Affairs team and I are here to support you. I hope you will explore, connect, and make the most of all that Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s global and binational community has to offer.
