In collaboration with International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) and the Parents and Family Programs Office we are offering a new volunteer opportunity for current Vanderbilt parents to host Vanderbilt international students during Thanksgiving and Christmas break.  Many of our international students remain on campus during the holidays and they would welcome the opportunity to experience American holiday traditions in the home of one of our current Vanderbilt families.
