ISI Events
Come connect with a friendly and welcoming community of Princeton graduate students, visiting scholars, and locals! Here’s what we’re up to throughout the year:
The Academic Year
Friday Connect

Our main recurring event during the school year is Friday Connect, a weekly in-home gathering open to all international grad students, visiting scholars, and student spouses.
Join us for:
• A delicious home-cooked meal
• Engaging discussion on an excerpt from the Bible, tailored for all faiths (or none)
• Celebrating life’s simple joys—birthdays, published papers, and more
When: Every Friday except for the first Friday of the month, 6-9 PM
Where: Bob and Carrie’s home at 4 Glenview Drive, Princeton (10-min walk from Lawrence Apts)
First Friday Fun
On the first Friday of each month during the school year, we host First Friday Fun— a creative and casual event planned by our leadership team with student input.
Whether it’s game night, karaoke, or ice-skating, it’s always a great time to unwind and connect.
The Summer
We also host fun and informal summer events—from BBQs and lake days to ice cream runs and game nights.
To stay in the loop about both First Friday Fun and summer hangouts, make sure you’re part of our WhatsApp group!
