History of AFIS
Volunteer activities promoting
friendship between internationals at Ohio University and people in the
Athens community have existed for several decades. AFIS was formed in
1975 to galvanize these efforts. AFIS has grown in membership and
expanded its programs since then. Through our affiliation with COMSEC
(the Community Section of NAFSA,
Association of International Educators) AFIS stays in close contact with
issues affecting international and maintains a strict code of ethics.
An Invitation to Athens Residents and U.S.
Students
O.U.'s international students and their families
provide an opportunity to learn first-hand about other people, countries,
and cultures and to improve international relations in a very personal
way. Your involvement now will affect worldwide relations in the
future.
Welcome to All Internationals!
AFIS
is your link to the people of Athens. We can help you make friends with
local residents and introduce you to typical activities and experiences
within our community. Let us get to know you. Get to know us and the way
we live.
