The Dashew International Center for Students & Scholars provides services and programs for UCLA's more than 2,800 international students. This includes a comprehensive orientation program, which provides entering international students with the information, contacts, and support they need to ease their entry into the University and the community. In addition, services are provided for all departments which employ non-citizen faculty or staff.

The Dashew International Center is housed in Tom Bradley International Hall, which provides a venue with opportunities for students to gain a better understanding of the realities of multicultural Los Angeles. It offers students a living laboratory for multicultural learning. Relevant new programs include student visits with representatives from community-based organizations, seminars and workshops on cultural changes in an urban environment, and international student volunteer referrals to community projects in conjunction with divisional or University efforts.
