Take an international student into your home by M. Gail Avecilla International students have become an active part of campus life at PSU and yet a large majority of these studentS still experience difficulties in adjusting to American culture. One of the ways the University helps is through its hosl family program, in which PSU alumni are encouraged to participate. Students in the host family program live with American families for at least a term to help adjust and to learn about American life. They are treated like family members rather than just "boarders" who pay room and board expenses, thus Ihey experience the American way of living firsthand. Host families, in return, etlso learn about other cultures. "It is a very rewarding experience:' said Marguerite Marks, a retired international students advisor at PSU woo has had a young Japanese woman in her home, "It gives PSU a 'humanness' that we don't really have for international students." ESl instructor Nancy Trona (,69, '75 MA) agrees. Trotta has hosted a student from Qatar and has a Vietnamese (oster son. "I think it is a really worthwhile e):perience and I learned a lot about their countries and their cultures," For students not living with host families. "simply having a 'big brother or sister' relalionship" can be a big help, says Suzanne Nelson ('66), chair of the new International Alumni Coordinating Committee. ~Iumni a.nd friends of the University Sll on Ihe committee, which ~~~~ast~~~~n:~~:~!~f~nal students. "Even a simple dinner invitation to your home during the holidays is greatly appreciated," said Nelson. " tt really means a lot to them to have someone to depend on." In addition to encouraging alumni to participate in the host family program, the comminee assists both the International Student Services and the International Student Admissions offices at the University, The committee also helps to idenlify international alumni and to establish rapport with them. One project has been to work with international alumni to start alumni organizations in other countries, For more information or to volunteer as a host, contact Suzanne Nelson, 223-9984, or Raul Martinez at 229-4094.
