Description
The Foundation for International Understanding Through Students (FIUTS) is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the USA. FIUTS began shortly after World War II in a time when triumph, innocence and altruism characterized American international outreach. The goal of the founders of FIUTS was to promote international peace and understanding by extending hospitality and other community connections to international students. FIUTS was incorporated as a non-profit organization on August 28, 1948. The University of Washington provided an office and Dr. James M. Davis, Counselor for International Service for the University, became the Foundation's first Executive Director. At that time, there were 274 students from 37 nations enrolled at the University. The introduction of FIUTS to the community took place at the Seattle Art Museum, Sunday, January 20, 1949 at a Welcome Tea for international students.
