    Student Activities

    Host Families
    Asian students can experience American culture through family settings. The Host Family Program promotes international dialogue between students and local families. Student will be paired with a family where they will share their own traditions as well as learn about American culture. Both the students and families will learn about each other¡¯s culture and discover new connections between the two.

    Cultural Activities
    Students may join groups such as the Asian Student Association group. Our close-knit group of Asian students offers mutual support and assists the Asia Institute with social and cultural events. We might attend a Shakespeare play in Chicago, go on a cruise of Lake Michigan, or host a celebration of the Chinese New Year for Benedictine students. You¡¯ll feel right at home in our group. We¡¯re always planning new events, and we invite our international students to become involved as soon as they arrive.
