West Plains, MO. – Officials at Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP) are now accepting applications for the Student Services Host Family Program.
Implemented in fall 2021, the friendship program helps students become acquainted with the community, supports their experience at MSU-WP and encourages them to take advantage of a wide array of opportunities available in the area by pairing them with host families who can provide a “home away from home.”
Individuals and families who participate in the program are expected to attend a kickoff event at 6 p.m. Aug. 30 at the Carol Silvey Student Union in Hass-Darr Hall, 201 Garfield Ave., in West Plains. Students will meet their assigned host family and participants will receive training about the program and allowable activities.
Due to NJCAA requirements, there will be some restrictions that apply for those families who serve as hosts for student athletes.
For more information about the program and how you can apply to be a host family, call 417-255-7255, email Totty at AngelaTotty@MissouriState.edu or visit WP.MissouriState.edu/HostFamilyProgram.
