Description: The Cranwell International Center was a gift to Virginia Tech by the William Cranwell family. In the Spring of 1986 it opened as a central focal point for international community activity, providing an array of educational, cultural, and social activities. While the International Center was established to respond to the specific needs of the international community, another goal has been to encourage interchange between the international guests and their U.S. colleagues, including members of the local community. The International Center services students, scholars, faculty, spouses, and visitors from 120 countries in all regions of the world. The International Center is a busy office involved with various activities, services and programs ranging from orientation for all international students, visa-related services for undergraduate internationals and dependents, cultural exchange programs like the International Friendship Program and Conversation Groups, communications through our web-page, travelcards for students and faculty traveling abroad, and providing space for meetings, activities, and events.
