International House is a crossroads of culture and ideas. Throughout the year, the Office of Programs and External Relations sponsors a wide array of programs and activities that have been developed to enrich the experience of students and spouses. The International Partners Program offers a series of social, educational and cultural activities for spouses and dependents of international students studying at the University of Chicago. Activities supplement the English Language Institute Program and include campus and city tours, cultural demonstrations, and professional development opportunities.
