Our Partners in Serving Students
We are grateful to partner with several incredible organizations that share our heart for welcoming, serving, and building community among students at UTD. Together, we support students through friendship, cultural exchange, faith conversations, and practical help during their time in the U.S.

Through these partnerships, we are able to collaborate on events, serve students together, and create meaningful spaces for connection, growth, and community. Whether you’re looking for a ride from the airport, a place to ask big questions, or simply people to share life with—we’re here for you!
