Center for International Relations & Cultural Leadership Exchange
The Husky Experience is a global experience
No matter where students are from, their exposure to a global society and world class education begins the moment they arrive on campus. CIRCLE (the Center for International Relations & Cultural Leadership Exchange) is the UW’s primary portal to resources, community and activities that help international and domestic students maximize their Husky Experience, together.
A home away from home, a portal to the world
CIRCLE streamlines critical support for international students and engages both domestic and international students so that they thrive at UW and in the global economy. CIRCLE is a key component to delivering on UW’s promise to our community and our world; it is a logical extension of our values, and further reinforces our role as a leading global university.
