August 20-22, 2024

We are so excited that you are joining us for International Orientation and we look forward to meeting and serving you in August! International Orientation (IO) is designed for our incoming International Students (F-1 Visa), Missionary Kids (MK), and Third Culture Kids (TCK), to help with the entry and transition into a different country and culture as you prepare for your time at Taylor University.

You will have the opportunity to not only meet your fellow classmates, but also upperclassmen who have volunteered their time and talents to welcome you into this community. It is our hope and prayer that during this time, you will begin to develop friendships, find a place of belonging, and remember the goodness and faithfulness of He who has called you to Taylor.
