Friend families sought

College’s international students both learn from and educate those with
whom they associate during their days as part of the College community.
One of the forms this exchange takes is the Friendly Family Program of
the Office of International Student Services.“This opportunity,” International Students Services Coordinator Taryn Kohler wrote in a campus e-mail, “provides immeasurable benefits for students and families alike.”
Office of International Student Services will host a Friendly Family Program interest meeting on Thursday, April 20, at 4 p.m., in the Kennedy Center Student Lounge. The Friendly Family Program extends the support system for new international students beyond the Hiram campus.
