Host families needed for international students Aug. 17-22
George Fox is expecting approximately 30 to 40 new international students this fall. They will be arriving on Aug. 17 to begin the international student orientation.
Rather than house these students in empty dorm rooms during orientation, we are looking for about 15 to 20 families who would be willing to have up to two international students stay in their home the nights of Aug. 17-22 (students would be free to be with the families the entire weekend of Aug. 17-19).
Families are asked to provide breakfast and dinner. Lunch will be provided on campus during orientation. We also ask families to provide transportation to George Fox between 8 and 8:30 a.m. and pick students up at approximately 5 p.m. Host families will receive a stipend to help defray some of the costs of meals and transportation.
If you are interested in serving as a host family, please contact Dianna McIntyre (dmcintyr@georgefox.edu) or Alex Pia (apia@georgefox.edu). If you know of others who might be interested, please let us know so we may contact them.
Thank you for your willingness to consider this opportunity.
