International Student Airport Pick-up Program

Welcome to the International Student Airport Pick-up Program!

The International Student Airport Pick-up Program, led by the Public Health Student Assembly and the School of Public Health, hopes to make your transition to the United States more seamless by providing a current student to pick-up an international student upon arrival at the Detroit Airport (DTW).
