Next week, FIUTS will celebrate 60 years at the
University of Washington and look towards the
future of our programs. Over the past 60 years, the
world has seen dramatic changes, but FIUTS' vision
for a more peaceful world based on friendship and
understanding remains strong.
Take a look at some of the more interesting
photographs and documents from our first 60 years
on our new history pages - and please send along
copies of any items you'd like to add to our collection!
