Host families needed during International Student Orientation

This Fall, George Fox will welcome approximately 40 newly arrived international students, over half of whom are graduate students. Would you consider hosting a student or two during our International Student Orientation?

The orientation will begin Friday, Aug. 19, and end the morning of Aug. 25. The students will be in orientation during the days but need housing and a meal for the evenings and one weekend. Rather than put the undergraduate students in empty dorm rooms, we would like to place them with local Christian families.

Also, graduate students will not be able to live on campus, so they would need to stay with host families during the week of orientation.  Our office will help them secure permanent housing during that week.

This is a great opportunity for international students to be in the home of an American family and to see the reality of Christ in us.

A small stipend is offered to offset your expenses in hosting the students. If you are willing to serve as a host family, or would like more information, please contact Alex Pia at apia@georgefox.edu.
