RESIDENTS Welcome Week
Each year, International House Philadelphia welcomes hundreds of new and returning residents, and the busiest time of year by far is September when everyone is heading back to school, starting internships, and winding down after all the summer fun. For one week every September, IHP hosts a series of events just for residents that aim to connect new friends, introduce the staff, learn your way around the building, and so much more!
Monday, September 23 at 8am Breakfast
Come jump start your morning with a‘ breakfast to go’! Stop by the lobby for a quick bite, compliments of the International House staff.
Tuesday, September 24 at 8pm Town Hall Meeting and Movie Night
Meet the staff of IHP, and then stick around for a film, when the Ibrahim Theater becomes your living room for the night! Popcorn, soda, and a film on the big screen are the perfect way to relax with your friends and neighbors.
