Holiday host families A number of international students at UGA remain in Athens during the Thanksgiving holiday and are interested in staying with an American family to learn about holiday traditions in the United States. Currently, approximately 10 families are needed, to host students from China, Japan, India, Malaysia and Spain. Members of the university community who will be in Athens during Thanksgiving break and who are interested in hosting an international student for one to two nights should contact the International Student Life Office at 542-5867. The Friends of the Georgia Museum of Natural History are now taking orders for a new Friends T-shirt.
