This is an opportunity to bless the nations through an act of welcome and hospitality. You can assist new international students who have just arrived on campus by transporting them to Target, Li Ming's, and other nearby stores so they can purchase things they need - groceries, small household items, and electronics. Upon conclusion of shopping, we ask that you drive them to their apartment/residence.
The purpose of this annual e{firstpreferred}vent, organized by International Students, Inc. in Durham, is to serve the practical needs of students during the "settling-in" phase of their Duke University experience. We anticipate many new international students requesting this assistance. International Student Inc. staff will assign student(s) to you at the meeting location. Great friendships and exchanges have resulted from simple gestures of hospitality.
Saturday, Aug 10, 1-4pm - We will have two locations to meet students, both near to campus. You will be assigned to one of these locations the week before the shopping trip, once we have a better idea how many students from each area sign up to shop. The two potential locations are Campus Walk Ave Apartments & Lancaster Commons Apartments.
*This service is offered to all NEW international graduate students and scholars*
