fun with internationals

As our relationship with Tulane's Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) continues to develop, we have more and more opportunities to serve and love international students. This past week, Chi Alpha hosted the monthly 'coffee hour' the OISS sponsors on campus. Jen and one of our student leaders baked some wonderful cookies, and we provided some other harvest-time snacks. Jen also had some fun games for us all to play. Coffee Hour is just getting back on its feet again, and this one was, by far, the most fun and interactive I've been to!

While there, I met a new student from mainland China, Xiangcun, who is here on a government scholarship. In an email over the weekend, he said that I'm the first American friend he's made! What an opportunity.
