UF NaviGators International Program

The Gator Nation is Everywhere! Come join us! This is the official Facebook group page for the NaviGators International Program.

We are a group of students at the University of Florida whose goal is to ensure that international students studying at UF grow to love Gainesville and UF as much as we do. We work to make the international students' experience in this country as fun and exciting as possible, and give them an insider's glimpse into American culture through excursions, socials, and cultural events. Come join us to be part of a global network! If you'd like more information, visit our website.

Our Story

Traveling abroad can be an experience of a lifetime, but it can also be intimidating. Living in a new place alone and having to adapt to brand new customs can be frightening for many exchange students. Luckily, UF NaviGators International is here to help you transition into American culture and meet new friends along the way! Our organization is dedicated to helping international students meet new friends (both from the United States and other countries), experience new places, and have a ton of fun! We also help American students experience new cultures, be mindful of world events, and meet people from around the world!

We are a group of students at the University of Florida whose goal is to ensure that international students studying at UF grow to love Gainesville and UF as much as we do. We work to make the international students' experience in this country as fun and exciting as possible, and give them an insider's glimpse into American culture through excursions, socials, and cultural events.
