International Student and Scholar Services is looking for Faculty & Staff who are willing to host new international & exchange students for a meal in their home. Approximately 10-15 new students will be arriving to Minneapolis in early January for Orientation. At the end of their week, we would love to have students have the opportunity to connect more with a faculty or staff on campus, make connections, and have the chance to be in someone’s home.
Here are the details:
You will meet students at 4:30pm in the Oyate Commons (Christensen Center Suite 2) on Friday January 11th. We are asking for you to host 3-4 students and drive them to your home for a meal. We ask that you bring them back by around 7:30 pm. It helps to be hosting with someone, whether that is your partner, family or you can pair with another faculty or staff on campus.
If you are interested, please email me at bonfigli@augsburg.edu. We are looking for around 4 – 5 hosts, but I will have a backup list as some times conflicts arise.
