International House Chicago
Host to the World
International House of Chicago
is a dynamic residential and
program center for nearly
500 students and scholars
from over fifty countries who
attend colleges and universities
throughout Chicago. Founded
in 1932 by John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., International House is one
of four such Houses throughout
the world. The mission of
International House is to promote
cross-cultural understanding,
mutual respect and friendship
among students and scholars
and, on the part of the people
of metropolitan Chicago, toward
individuals of all nations and
backgrounds. The Residential
Fellowship Program helps ensure
the exceptional geographic,
cultural and economic diversity
that is central to the mission
of International House and the
University of Chicago. Each
year, International House offers
approximately 60 fellowships to
students from around the world.

In addition to our residents,
International House serves the
greater Chicago community as
a cultural and intellectual center
for a wide array of programs.
Over 100 public programs are
held each year at International
House. These include music and
cultural performances, outreach
programs with Chicago-area
international organizations,
collaborations with foreign
consulates, language exchanges
and discussions, and forums
and debates led by distinguished
guest speakers through our
Global Voices Program.
The role and mission of
International House are more
compelling now than ever. An
increasingly interdependent world
has made multicultural awareness
and understanding an essential
attribute for all our communities.
International House in its role
as ���Host to the World,��� makes
an important contribution to the
intellectual and cultural fabric of
the entire City of Chicago.
