Buffett International Spouse & Family Program

Welcome to the Buffett International Spouse & Family Program!

The program's mission is to support and connect spouses and partners of international faculty, visiting scholars, students and postdocs at Northwestern University by providing a warm and inclusive space to gather in person. We are delighted to welcome you into our vibrant and diverse community.

At Northwestern, we understand that navigating life in a new country presents unique challenges and opportunities. Our goal is to help you feel at home, thrive and make the most of your time here. Through a variety of seasonal and cultural events and connections to local resources and support services, we aim to foster connections, celebrate cultural diversity and ensure a smooth transition for newly arrived international families.

We hope to provide opportunities for you to meet other international families, build lasting friendships and engage with the broader Northwestern community. We are here to attentively listen to your needs, ideas and suggestions, with the goal of collaboratively designing programs that align with your interests.
