Explore the Center for International Relations & Cultural Leadership Exchange (CIRCLE)

Center for International Relations & Cultural Leadership Exchange (CIRCLE) recognizes that it can be challenging for international students to navigate the complex university ecosystem. Therefore, we collaborate with key campus partners to curate resources that will help you make the most of your graduate experience at the UW. To help all new international students transition into their lives at the UW and Seattle, CIRCLE, in coordination with key campus partners, lead the international welcome programs for incoming students each quarter, including tailored programs for new international graduate students.
