The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) is recruiting new members for its Friendship Family Program (FFP), which involves a family or individual from the local community forming a social relationship with one or more new international student(s) enrolled at Binghamton University.
Historically, this social relationship has consisted of family dinners, phone calls, conversations over coffee or tea, attending an event together, or going to see the latest movie. More information about the role of Friendship Families can be found on the
ISSS website.
Please note: Friendship Families do not provide housing, financial, or academic assistance. It is a purely social relationship.
Interested families/individuals are encouraged to complete this online application by Monday, July 15, 2024. Any questions or concerns can be sent to
isss@binghamton.edu.
