Hosts needed for Thanksgiving without Borders

Published October 17, 2025

UB’s Thanksgiving without Borders program is looking for faculty and staff who can share their Thanksgiving or fall harvest traditions — and at the same time make connections — with members of UB’s diverse international community.

The goal of the program, sponsored by the offices of International Student Services and the Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence, is to foster a more inclusive community by encouraging meaningful cross-cultural experiences for faculty, staff and students.

Faculty and staff interested in participating in the program can visit the Thanksgiving without Borders webpage and complete the host registration form.  The deadline to register is Oct. 31.

Organizers will match as many UB employees and international students as possible. Those who are chosen to participate will receive information about their students no later than Nov. 15.

Those with questions can email iss@buffalo.edu.
