The FIUTS blog is updated several times a week with stories and news from the FIUTS community of students, hosts, staff, alumni, and more.
FIUTS was honored to virtually host two groups of students from the Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) program in summer 2021 and winter 2022. While these programs would normally take place in person, we were thrilled with how much these incredible young leaders were able to learn and accomplish through their five-week virtual programs.

Read MoreOver the last four years, FIUTS has hosted Study of the U.S. Institutes for student leaders from around the world. This program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, has so far brought 100 university-level student leaders to Seattle for intensive programs focusing on media, journalism, and civic engagement.
