Welcome to Tuscaloosa! Meet people at Global Café. This evening, local friends will tell us about free resources for International Families.

Join us for a fun evening and bring your family and friends. Many international scholars will be there, and we interpret for one another. Free and open to the public. Free parking at evening events.
Directions to Capital Hall:
Drive down Campus Drive East (near the Rec Center).
