This group supports international students, their host families, and the Bethany administration.

Using a student lifestyles contract, this group will help students and their hosts regarding expectations such as family time, personal time, church attendance, money, insurance.

This group also coordinates a “hospitality house” for each international student, where the student would be expected to spend a minimum of one weekend per semester with this other family. This helps the international student get to know the broader Bethany community and provides the host family with a break.

The group will also plan fall and winter social gatherings for the students and their host famiies.
