In the Friendship Family program, WSU international students are connected with American families who volunteer to invite students into their lives for a semester (or more).
You’ll be able to share stories, learn about each other’s culture, and perhaps celebrate holidays together.
Volunteer families are not expected to provide financial support or housing for international students.
The International Club and ISSS office sponsor trips so students can experience Minnesota and Wisconsin attractions like:
