Alumni Host FAQ

Alumni who volunteer to be a host may do one or more of the following:

• Provide overnight accommodations for a student(s) for one or two evenings.
• Meals, transportation, and tours may be offered by the hosting alumni.
• Counsel students who have questions about the residency program or the community where they are interviewing.

E-Host: Counsel students (over the phone or via e-mail) who have questions about the residency program or the community where they are interviewing.

Most residency interviews occur during the months of October through January.

Complete and submit the Host Volunteer Registration Form. The Office of Alumni Relations will then contact you to begin the match process.

Students are asked to contact their host as soon as they receive contact information. Be sure to exchange cell phone/e-mail contact information. It is also a good idea to re-contact your student prior to his/her visit to confirm plans.

The person you are hosting will contact you as soon as possible to let you know about any change in their travel plans.

Students are asked to take a photo of the host family with him/her to submit to the Office of Alumni Relations. We also ask that you complete a HOST program evaluation form.
