Help an International Student by Hosting on Thanksgiving

Many Global Training Initiative (GTI) international students have no plans during the Thanksgiving weekend. The university is closed, and on-campus housing cannot be accessed. We are hoping to be able to offer a number of international students plans for the Thanksgiving holiday by setting up home-stays with American students.

Please fill out the online form if you are willing and able to share your American Thanksgiving holiday with a visiting international student this year. Hosts should be able to provide a ride for all guests.
