UW-Stevens Point seeking host families in August
7/13/2017
 

Welcome a select group of first-year University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students to the community by volunteering as a host family for a two-night stay Aug. 25-27. 

The students are moving to UW-Stevens Point early as part of a new mentoring program through the Tutoring Learning Center (TLC). They will be introduced to campus and university support services and meet with upperclassmen students who will mentor them throughout the year. Students are selected based on being first generation students as well as their socio-economic status, ethnicity and distance from home.

Activities for host families and students include a fish fry at Iverson Park on Friday, Aug. 25, and an outing to the Stevens Point Farmer's Market on Saturday, Aug. 26. Families will provide overnight accommodations Friday and Saturday, two breakfasts and one dinner as well as transportation to and from UW-Stevens Point for the weekend. 

To become a host family or for more information, contact Jake Wozniak of UW-Stevens Point's Tutoring Learning Center at jwozniak@uwsp.edu or 715-346-4315.
