The Fort Collins International Center works with the Office of International Programs at CSU to prepare a night for international students to experience a home-cooked meal in an American home at a Community Welcome Dinner. Community Welcome Dinners occur at the beginning of every semester the week of orientation. In the fall, on average, 150 international students participate. In the spring it ranges from 30 to 50 international students.
For the Fall 2024 academic season, the Community Dinners for International Students took place at the homes of volunteer families on Monday, August 12, at 5:00 pm. Watch our Facebook page for future dinners.
