CISC Connect & Support

CISC Connect & Support is a volunteer peer-support initiative for international spouses, partners, and families connected to Caltech and JPL.

We can help you to:

• find the relevant Caltech page or office for your question
• understand where to start when the information feels overwhelming
• connect with other international spouses and families
• learn from practical local experience
• think through everyday questions about life in the Pasadena area
• find community, activities, and informal support

Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us at [email protected]

Questions are welcome by email. Email CISC Connect & Support at [email protected] Please include following in your email:

• your question
• whether you are preparing to arrive or already in the Pasadena area
• your approximate arrival timeline, if relevant
• whether your question is about spouse/partner life, children, housing, transportation, healthcare, schools, community, or another practical topic

A CISC volunteer will follow up by email. If helpful, we may suggest a short call or an in-person conversation.
