Building a Global Hilltop — Together!

At St. Edward’s, international students bring the world to the Hilltop. Representing dozens of countries, they enrich classroom conversations, share their traditions through cultural programs, and build bridges of understanding across campus. International Student Services (ISS) supports these scholars as they navigate life in the U.S. — from immigration and employment guidance to workshops, wellness support, and leadership opportunities — helping them feel at home and thrive academically, socially, and personally. Your support ensures ISS can continue to meet the needs of international students and create a campus community where every student’s journey contributes to a truly global Hilltop.

Your gift makes this possible by supporting:

• Cultural programs that celebrate traditions and foster intercultural learning
• Emergency support for students facing unexpected challenges
• Workshops on wellness, immigration, and cultural adjustment
• Community experiences in Austin that expand global perspectives
• Resources that connect international and domestic students

Why Now

This campaign leads into International Education Week (November 16–20) and culminates with the International Cultural Showcase on November 21, where the campus comes together to celebrate the richness of cultures from around the world. Your gift makes these opportunities — and so many others — possible for our international students. Thank you!
