Let’s Get Ready to Welcome New Students!
This summer we have a series of volunteer trainings planned to help us be prepared to welcome new students. Things have changed in many ways during the past 2 years and now seems like the appropriate time for a refresher and to gain some new insights. We are excited by the addition of 2 evenings of roundtable discussions. We will focus on India and China and our panel will be made up of volunteers and friends who are from those countries. In addition, we will spend an hour focusing on airport pickups and hosting. Sign up for the sessions that are relevant to your area of volunteer focus.

Easter Sunday will be here soon and with it, a unique and meaningful opportunity for international students. We are looking forward to offering students the opportunity to enjoy a meal with you on either Saturday April 16th or Sunday April 17th.
Consider welcoming a couple students into your home, share the story and tradition of Easter with them. All you have to do is offer them a ride to and from campus and a place at your table. Some will be interested in attending church with you, so don't hesitate to invite them to your Easter morning service, April 17th. Or invite them to spend time and a meal with you on Saturday April 16th. |
Thursdays 7-8:30 Pm
English skills can be difficult to attain, but there is a simple way to improve: casual conversations with a native English speaker. We are offering a time each week for you to come and improve your language skills while getting to know a local American! If you want to gain a friend and grow in your speaking ability sign-up now!

HOST Students FOR THANKSGIVING
International students would love to be invited into our homes to experience a traditional Thanksgiving meal and enjoy the day with our families. In the past, nearly 400 students enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner in an American home.
Students are eager to experience and learn about this American holiday. We have a wonderful opportunity to talk about what we are truly thankful for.
Would you be willing to invite 2-3 students to share your Thanksgiving table?
