Lincoln Friends of Foreign Students seeks new participants

The Lincoln Friends of Foreign Students is looking for participation from faculty, staff and members of the public. The program pairs new UNL international students with Lincoln-area individuals, couples or families to share culture and provide friendship.

Lincoln Friends of Foreign Students is not a hosting program. Students provide their own accommodations while studying at UNL. The purpose of the program is to give international students a glimpse into American life and culture, while also allowing these students to share their own culture.

Program participants are asked to make contact with their international student at least once a month. Contacts can range from a phone call to an invitation to spend a day or evening. For more information or application forms, go to http://www.unl.edu/lffs.
