The Community Host Program matches international students, scholars, and employees with a ¶¶Òõ̽̽ affiliate, faculty, or staff member that serves as a community mentor and friend. The goal of this program is to build connections for our international community, both at ¶¶Òõ̽̽ and in the larger Burlington area, offering support and networking outside of academia.

The OIE does not plan any structured events for the Community Host Program; participants get to plan their own activities and determine how often they would like to meet. Activities might include getting together for coffee, attending a sporting event or backyard barbeque, or connecting over a shared hobby.

Interested scholars and employees can learn more and sign up by emailing InternationalScholars@uvm.edu.
