A welcoming community for international students
WE BELIEVE
Meaningful connections change the world.
We know what it’s like for international students to have high expectations for your new home in the United States. And we know what it’s like to feel the emptiness that comes from being away from your own home, family, language, food, and culture.
V.I.S.A. exists to be a home away from home for international students. This thriving community is built on meaningful connections: connections with other international students (who can relate to what it feels like to be living in a foreign country) and connections with Americans who can help you navigate life in Memphis.

Upcoming Events for Internationals
What is VISA?
We are a community of mostly international students (with some American volunteers). We have different events throughout the semester like parties, sightseeing, movie nights, and culture nights. These events help students connect, develop genuine friendships, and learn more about other cultures. The best way for international students to get involved with VISA is to come to one of our events! Sign up for our weekly emails below so that you'll always know when the next events are coming up. We want to connect with you so that VISA can be your home away from home.
