Hospitality program feedback
- I have had two Hospitality partners, each for over a year, and they are going great!
- Love my experiences with Hospitality program.
- We have enjoyed our first experience hosting a student. We take her roommate and her to dinner monthly.
- I have hosted individual and families of international scholars but have not been actively participating in the group activities.
English Classes program feedback
- Love teaching and schmoozing with students and their families; they have all been lovely people.
Homestay program feedback
- I enjoyed hosting incoming graduate students with Homestay in the fall.
General feedback
- I want to let CCIS know how terrific I think CCIS is, and how meaningful and rewarding it has been for us. We have now been associated with the group for about a year, both as participants in the English in Action program (with several partners), and as weekly participants in Friday Coffees...
- ...I have also had the opportunity to try out some new ideas. For example, I started a small English conversation group for Chinese internationals, which I have found to be completely fascinating. I have been given wise and kind guidance in my programs by Gwyn, Marcia, and Carol, and have had the chance to meet many wonderful volunteers. Many thanks to you all, and for the opportunities that your program offers.
- CCIS is a great way to learn about other cultures and make good friends with people you would not be able to usually meet.
- Volunteering with international students has been a rewarding experience as language and cultural goals are furthered through focused, amiable exchanges.
- Very rewarding. Meet wonderful people; learn about other cultures.
- Very happy indeed. Could not ask for anything better. Most enjoyable.
- CCIS is the best volunteer experience I have ever enjoyed—good conversation, nice people, flexibility to my schedule and learning about another culture. You can be involved at any level you choose. What more could I ask.
- I think participating in the CCIS programs is extremely rewarding and being around the younger generation is delightful.
