We need host families!
Being a host family is a great experience for your family as well as for
international students.
Please contact David Martin, host family coordinator at

Summer programs
Each year the Office of International Programs and Development hosts
several short-term summer programs for student groups who wish to
experience American culture, and share their own culture with new
friends.
Whether at Saint Martin's University for two weeks or three months, the
visiting students are exposed to American life through educational
workshops and classes, visits to local businesses, and tours of local
sites such as Seattle and Mount Rainier. Students also have ample
opportunities to meet Americans by staying with a host family for one
weekend and participating in activities with local youths who take part
in the programs as "cultural
ambassadors."
