Tuscaloosa’s International Friends is a community organization that helps pair Tuscaloosa families with new international students attending UA, Shelton State, and Stillman College. We hope you will help us extend Tuscaloosa’s amazing Southern hospitality by considering joining TIF as a host for one or more international students.
You are invited to drop by the Safe Zone Resource Center for our 3rd Annual Open House Event.
In addition to free food and an opportunity to tour the Safe Zone Resource Center, you will also have a chance to meet many of our Safe Zone team members. We hope to see you there!
