International Community Hospitality Assocation
Open the Door to New Friends!
Through International Friends program, the International Community Hospitality Association (ICHA) links International Students with local host families with the aim of opening the doors to cultural understanding and fresh perspectives through communication and friendship. The ICHA is not a home stay program. Students live on campus and visit their ICHA hosts for special events and occasions. Hosts can meet with the students as often as is convenient and comfortable for both the host and the student. A monthly contact is requested. Whenever possible, students should be included in special celebrations.
