Over the last few years, the Assembly of International Students has partnered with Penn faculty and staff to organize Thanksgiving dinners for international students staying on campus over the break. Although this semester is virtual, we still hope to continue this Thanksgiving tradition!
This year, the Assembly of International Students (AIS) is launching a Virtual Thanksgiving Pairings Program: faculty and staff are paired with students to engage over a virtual activity of their choice. Possible activities may include: hosting coffee chats over Zoom, sending email or text messages to check in, or even mailing over a handwritten card. Please fill out this form by Nov. 20th if you’d like to participate. We will match students with faculty/staff members based on demand and the number of sign ups no later than Nov. 22nd. We hope our program is a way for any international student - whether they are here in Philly or back in their home country - to join us in celebrating the Thanksgiving weekend, and engage further with the Penn community. Please do not hesitate to contact Justine de Jesus ([email protected]) or Hugo Leo ([email protected]) if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you for your help and support!
