If you have friends or relatives in Amman, please ask them to consider hosting one (or two) of our talented student participants for three weeks this summer, beginning July 11 and ending August 1. It is a wonderful experience for all -- visit the "Student Quotes" page to read what previous students have said about their host families.

  • Please complete this questionnaire and send it to program director Jay Harris, harrisja@uwgb.edu as soon as possible.  The sooner we receive it, the better our opportunity to match your family to a student with similar interests.

  • After we receive the completed questionnaire, we will call you for a conversation and arrange for an interview in your home.
