Family opens home to foreign students
By Monica Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
During the past seven years, Dick and Eva Steffen have been the proud parents of 18.
The Steffens have participated in a host-family program that has made them the U.S. family to 18 internships students at the University of Kansas.
Ger Lamer, graduate assistant in the Office of Foreign Student Services, said that the KU host-family program began more than 15 years
She said the program gave local families the opportunity to invite international students into their home and into their culture.
"It is a way of teaching international students what family life is like in America," Lamer said.
She said that there were about 100 host families in the program but that 400 students had signed up.
"Unfortunately, there are never enough families for all of the students who sign up." Lamer said. "We are always looking for more families. Sometimes families take more than one student."
The Steffens are the host family of six students this year.
At times, they will all meet for dinner at the Steffen's home.
"Eva always tells them before they eat a meal. 'Now, you have to try a little bit of everything.' They are always pretty honest in letting us know if they like it or not." Dick Steffen said.
Lamer said host families did everything from helping a student move to taking a student shopping.
"We're here to be their parents
away from home. Dick teacher said.
He said some students would call
on them more than others.
Martin Carl, Tubingen, Germany,
graduate student, said he had been in
Lawrence for three weeks. He has
with the Steffens seven or eight
times.
"I'm lucky because I met up with them on the first day." Carl said. "We've done everything that you can image to the football on Saturday."
Steffen said he enjoyed the game, but it was difficult trying to explain the game to Carl while it was being plaved.
"At least on TV you can watch the instant replay." he said.
The Steffens said that they were planning to spend two weeks in Germany and two weeks in the UK during their year visiting former host students.
"I think the program has helped Americans to learn about different cultures." Steffens said.
Dick Steele said that aside from family dinners and shopping outings, he was looking forward to an organization event in October with all of the host families.
Dick Steffen said he and Eva did not have children of their own.
"We're just two old folks with no kids, so we spoil our students," he said.
