Their first point of contact with our school is during International Student Orientation. This orientation begins several days earlier than the general new student orientation, and if we were to house these students on campus they would be staying in near empty buildings in rooms without their American roommates. Our desire is to place all of our incoming international students with host families during international orientation.<\/p>\n<p>Would you or someone you know be willing to serve as a host family for an international student during this time?<\/p>\n<p>Our students will begin arriving Aug. 19 and 20. <strong>You can choose to host one or two students in your home during the evenings between\u00c2\u00a0Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, including all day on the weekend of\u00c2\u00a0Aug. 22-23<\/strong>. Families are asked to provide breakfast and dinner. Lunch will be provided by the university\u00c2\u00a0during orientation. We also ask families to provide transportation to George Fox between 8-8:30 a.m. and to pick students up at approximately 5-5:30 p.m. Host families will receive a stipend to help cover\u00c2\u00a0the costs of meals and transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for your assistance in this great opportunity to share the love of Christ with our new international students.
