Members of the Tech community have long welcomed international students into their homes during the holidays. Now, a group of students is making it easier to connect those interested in sharing an international Thanksgiving.
Home for the Holidays is an effort to join international students not going home for Thanksgiving with faculty, staff, and other students who would be up for treating them to a festive American meal. Potential hosts and students looking to be hosted can express interest online by Saturday, Nov. 1. When completing the online interest form, potential hosts can choose whether they’d like to host for just the meal or overnight.

SGA & OIE are working on an initiative to match international students with hosts in the GT community (faculty/ staff/ alumni/ other students) for a Thanksgiving meal.Georgia Tech is home to many international students. Over the holiday season, many students are unable to travel back home to their home country.
In order to build a stronger GT community, we have created A Home for the Holidays. We are matching these students with other members of the Tech community for the Thanksgiving holiday! Students will go to the host’s home on Thursday November 27, 2014 to share a Thanksgiving meal.
If you would like to host a student, please submit the form below:

If you are an international student, please submit the form below:

Please apply by November 1, 2014! If you have any questions, please e-mail gtahomefortheholidays@gmail.com. You will be notified if you have been matched the first week of November!
