Notice from International Coordinator, Ann Northrop:

Although we have had a strong response for host families for next year's semester, we still have one more student to place. He is a senior from China who enjoys basketball and looks forward to living with a Hopkinton family so he can learn more about American culture. Our current host families have found their lives are being enriched in enormous and sometimes surprising ways.
