*Points to Consider: purpose (relational? who to target?), resources, timing of events, publicity (E-mail, facebook, poster, word of mouth, international student mailing list), format of program, location ...
* Type of Events: 1. Welcome Events: picnic, cookout, city tour, working farm, lake/beach party ...
2. Broad sowing events: welcome kit & get contact info; reveal self-identity; relevant current movie; resource fair & raffle; 3. High-Touch-Low-Cost Events: sports, game nights, ice cream social, teaching driving, pickup, cook, conversational partner; 4. Holiday events ...
* International mindset: Why come? Education, prestige, respect, status, job opportunity; Cost of failure: shame, guilt, disgrace; Reward: prestige, etc.
* Felt Needs: language, helps (live, drive, shop, etc.), relationship, academic success, sight-seeing/traveling & other fun things, and understanding US culture.
