Couples & Scholars
International Couples and Scholars (ICASO)
The International Couples and Scholars (ICASO) is an organization for international couples, students with children, and scholars doing short-term research or teaching at UNM who have an interest in meeting other mature individuals from around the world. Members are typically researchers, faculty or students and any spouses and partners (and children).
ICASO strives to:
- Allow members to make friends with others from around the world
- Provide a support network for all non-UNM spouses/partners as well as the UNM researcher/faculty/student member
- Plan fun activities and events
Our activities vary from potluck dinner parties, to cooking demonstrations, to trips in and outside of Albuquerque. The activities can be found on our calendar and are marked as ICASO.
We hope that this group will help us all meet new people, get out and do fun things, share and learn something about other cultures (and languages), and form a support network of our own with people who share something in common with us! We think this support is particularly helpful for spouses and partners who are not working or studying at UNM, so we need your help to make the connection with your spouse/partner even if you are not interested for yourself. If you think you might want to participate, here is what you should do:
- Tell your spouse/partner about our group
- Send an email to icaso.unm@gmail.com with your name, email address, the name of your spouse/partner, and the email address of your spouse/partner. We will add you to our email list. ALL ARE WELCOME! You can ask us to remove your name at any time from this list and none of your information will be shared with others.
We really hope you will want to participate!
IF YOU ARE HERE WITH A FAMILY, PLEASE TELL YOUR SPOUSE/PARTNER ABOUT US TODAY!
