Our Friends of International Students (FIS) host program recruiting and matching process for the recently admitted Class of 2021 has begun! As in previous years, we expect that the Class of 2021 will include more than 70 international students, including some U.S. students who have lived abroad and international exchange students. Please contact us if you’re interested in hosting in the fall and spread the word in our community.

International Student & Scholar Services will hold a series of information meetings about the program beginning on Thursday, May 18 from 12:15-1 p.m. on the second floor of the Service Building. We ask that new hosts attend a meeting so that we can meet them and share more information about the program. If you are an experienced host, we welcome you to join us as your stories and insights are vital to friends who are new to FIS and trying to decide if they would be a good fit for the program. We will also hold additional information meetings throughout the summer to be announced soon.

To express your interest in hosting this fall or to register for our meeting on May 18, please email ISSS at isss@middlebury.edu (subject line: FIS Host Program) or call us at 802.443.5858. Feel free to bring your lunch to our meeting.

You can learn more about the FIS Host Program on our website at:http://www.middlebury.edu/international/isss/fis .

Please share this information with friends and family who do not work at the College.

We invite all who are interested to become a part of this wonderful program and we look forward to hearing from you!
