Calling all Global Warriors! The Office of International Programs (OIP) invites you to an ice cream social to connect with participants of the 2026 Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program! On Tuesday, July 21 from 6-8pm, we will have ice cream, yard games, crafts, and great conversation at Fountain Court.

OIP will host 25 Iraqi undergraduate students participating in the Iraqi Young Leaders Exchange Program (IYLEP) for a 2-week peacebuilding and community resilience cultural exchange program at Wayne State. During this time, our guests will enjoy a variety of activities in and around Detroit, alongside structured academic and leadership development sessions. They are eager to meet members of the WSU community and learn what it's like to be a student here in the U.S.

We couldn't pull off these impactful programs without support from our wonderful WSU community. Please be sure to RSVP by Friday, July 17 so we have enough ice cream for everyone. We hope to see you there!
