The heart of F&M’s global community is the Joseph International Center, a campus space dedicated to bringing all members of the F&M community together across borders, cultures and languages. The JIC has an open, airy communal space that invites students, faculty, and staff to participate in gatherings. Popular events include weekly international coffee hours, global lunches, and language-centered coffee hours. The JIC also houses F&M’s internationally focused offices, including off-campus study, international student services, academic support services for international and multilingual students, and the international studies academic program.
