Welcome to Our Community

Our journey began with a simple idea - to create a place where international students at Cornell University feel at home. Through laughter, fellowship, and shared moments, we've built a family that spans across borders and cultures.

As you explore our fellowship, you'll discover the warmth of acceptance and the joy of belonging. We invite you to join us in this incredible tapestry of faith and friendship.

CICF was started in 1994 and was co-founded by Ard Louis, a PhD student from the Netherlands, and Edith Johnson, a former Youth With A Mission missionary.
