Friendship Family Recruitment

The International Student Services office is now recruiting new families for the Friendship Family program. The program is voluntary and designed to supplement international students’ academic experience by getting them off campus and into our community. We will connect families with international students who want to be connected with local families. As we publicize the recruitment to the Appleton public, we want the Lawrence faculty and staff to consider being part of the program too! You can learn more about the program with the following link: https://www.lawrence.edu/students/international/friendshipfamily. Please also forward this message to any individuals you feel might be interested in knowing about the program.
