“Hello! My name is Ben Nickel and I am coordinating this year’s A Home For The Holidays program. A Home for the Holidays was started in 2014 by the Student Government Association when we realized that a lot of international students aren’t able to travel home over the short Thanksgiving break. In order to build a stronger GT community, this program was designed to provide international students the opportunity to experience the Thanksgiving holiday – for many, for the first time – in a local family’s home.
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 24, 2016 to share a Thanksgiving meal.
If you would like to host a student, please submit the form below:

If you are an international student looking to be paired, please submit the form below:

Please apply by November 4, 2016! 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!
-Best,
Ben”
