| Friendship Families needed for international students |
| The International Student Services office is seeking friendship families for approximately 35 new international students arriving at the end of August. Friendship families do not house or act as advisers or financial sponsors to the students. They simply meet with their student(s) throughout the year to share meals, holidays, or participate in a variety of cultural activities. For more information, contact Wendy at ext. 8745 or wendy.mohlis@wartburg.edu. You may also click here to sign up online. |

Additionally, move-in for first-year students will be Saturday, Aug. 25, starting at 8 a.m. (instead of a Friday move-in, as in previous years). The full orientation schedule, along with our FY resources, can be found at www.wartburg.edu/orientation. Direct any questions/comments to Lindsey Leonard. |

| Check rate to refinance student loan debt |
