Southern Methodist University RUF International

Join us Tuesdays 6:30-8pm in Umphrey Lee Dining Hall

Being a long way from home can be really difficult, especially when you are facing the challenge of navigating a new culture and language. SMU has over 1000 international students representing more than 80 different nations. RUF International exists to welcome international students and scholars in the name of Jesus Christ.

If you are an international student, we want to walk alongside you as you navigate life outside of the classroom! We want to help you experience the local culture, develop lasting cross-cultural friendships, and better understand the good news of Jesus. Come join us for an exciting and life-changing experience!
