“When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you; you shall love him as yourself.” Lev 19:33-34 NASB
[INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS]
Creating relationship-centered outreach to international students, from hosting meals and holidays to helping with cultural adjustments.
Practical Cross-Cultural ideas or insights:
- Contact the International office on campus and offer your assistance. I.E. Airport shuttle, particpate in cultural holiday fair…
- Start an English conversation group.
- Host a traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas meal since most International Students do not go home over breaks.
- Implement a Friendship Partner Program.
