Hospitality
I am very lucky to get to know these nice people.
We had wonderful
times. Having happy times with my CCIS American friends is one of my
best memories in the U.S. I hope we will stay in touch forever. -- Takeharu Yamamoto, Japan
Between October and December, 60 internationals will be "matched" to a local Volunteer Host to arrange a mutual time to meet. The more information you are able to provide on your application, the better we will be able to match you to a host volunteer with mutual interests.
A hardcopy version of the International application is available in the “Hospitality” bin in the lobby of the I-Center, but we prefer completed applications electronically. Below are links to the Hospitality application in PDF and Word doc formats. We encourage you to click on the Word doc, complete the application and email it to: hospitality@ccisstanfordu.org . However, you may complete the hardcopy version of the application (PRINT CLEARLY!), fold the completed application in half, and put it in the Hospitality bin in the I-Center lobby – or give it to a CCIS volunteer or Bechtel staff member at the I-Center. The Hospitality program chairperson will contact you by email.
Once you qualify to participate in the Hospitality program, you can look
forward to sharing mutual interests, the California experience, recreation,
entertainment, cooking meals together, a local hike or a museum visit, and
lively conversation. These times of "seeing things for the first time
together" can be very meaningful for you at a time when you may feel lonely,
especially during holidays, and/or Stanford school breaks. Our
volunteer hosts often say that seeing this area with a Stanford
International is like seeing it for the first time, too!
