Exchange Student Host Family Needed
We are excited to welcome Dalan, an exchange student from Thailand who will be attending Loyola this fall. Dalan is in need of a host family at this time as she will initially be staying with a temporary host family upon her arrival. If your family is interested in hosting, a monthly stipend of $150 per month for 10 months will be available to you should you choose to open up your family and home to this wonderful experience. If you are interested or would like more information, please reach out to Scott Morgan, International Experience Local Coordinator for Loyola at 507-382-2824 or [email protected]
