The Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner and many of our international students are looking forward to sharing in this uniquely American tradition. The Holiday Hospitality Program is a volunteer-based community involvement program designed to enable international students and scholars to join local families for a meal during the holiday season.

We invite members of the CSI community to consider hosting an international student or scholar for this Thanksgiving. If you are interested in opening your home to at least two international students and/or scholars for Thanksgiving, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator and CSI alumna, Debra Santuilli-Barone at literallydeb@aol.com or at 646.765.6531.

For more information about the program, you can also contact Winnie Brophy at the Center for International Service, Building 2A, Room 206, at 718.982.2100 or via email at winnie.brophy@csi.cuny.edu. You can also email Debra Santuilli-Barone at literallydeb@aol.com.

A flyer about the program is online,which you can print and hang outside your office advertising this opportunity.
