Seeking Thanksgiving Hosts for International Students

 Did you hear about a unique opportunity to host UVM International students during Thanksgiving?  Here is a brief overview by Office of International Education staff member Emma Swift that was included in Staffline:

 

The Office of International Education (OIE) is coordinating a program to help our international students celebrate Thanksgiving with UVM families. Interested faculty and staff members will open their homes to 2-3 international students who will join your Thanksgiving celebration. This is a special opportunity for UVM’s international students to experience US culture outside of the campus bubble through seeing how this holiday is celebrated. If you and your family are interested in participating, please learn more and fill out a brief application by October 29th.
