In Brief: July 3

Friendship families sought for international students

The University welcomes many international students to its campus each year.  Many are eager to learn about how Americans live, in addition to their university experience.  The International Friendship Program matches interested students with local "families" for informal get-togethers, meals, holiday functions, outings and more.  "Family" can be a single person, retired couple, widow or widower in addition to a traditional family, with or without children.

You and your student may do as much or as little as your schedules and mutual interests suggest.
