The Joy of Thanksgiving

Stetson trustees, faculty and staff hosted 22 international students for this very American holiday!

Every year WORLD asks the Stetson community to host our international students for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. This year, 6 people signed up and hosted 22 students!

The students really enjoyed themselves as well as the hosts. A few comments the hosts shared with us were “I didn’t think I was going to have this much fun tonight!”  and “Family gatherings are important to me.  This is the first time I have felt this comfortable and good since arriving to Stetson this year.”

We are so grateful to our hosts who took the time to show our students what Thanksgiving means. The time spent together was special, and we are sure the parents of these students were grateful knowing their children were in a warm, welcoming environment!
