The Hospitality Program, in past years, matched local host families with international students attending UMASS/Amherst.
The COVID-19 pandemic has put these in-person activities on hold.
The Hospitality Program is sponsored by the Amherst Town Committee for International Students.
Students had the opportunity to periodically visit the home of a local family and get to know them while they were here in Amherst. Families were encouraged to include students in their regular activities such as hiking, sports events, local festivals, movies, concerts and shopping. This provided the students an opportunity to explore life off campus.
