First Friday Lunch - March 7th, 2014 - Nimisha Barton / History Department

Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!

On March 7th, we will be joined by Nimisha Barton, a sixth year graduate student in the History Department.  Nimisha will discuss with us her research on gender and immigration in France between 1900 and 1940.  She will discuss how France became the foremost immigrant country between the world wars, why the French welcomed and even encouraged immigration until recently, and why immigrant women were especially desired during this period. 

Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay 
PA3's annual dues), lunch includes three courses, a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink) and coffee/tea. Pre-registration is preferred.

Thanksgiving Hosts Needed

Volunteer to Host an International Student/Scholar for Thanksgiving!

This year Princeton students from around the world will be offered the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with an American host family in the local area through a program hosted by the Davis International Center in collaboration with the Friends of the Davis International Center.  Through this program, Princeton international students and scholars will be matched with volunteer families who will share their Thanksgiving celebration.  This is a wonderful opportunity for both international students and host family members to learn more about each others' cultures and foster new friendships.  Students will be matched with hosts on a first-come-first-serve basis. If their are not enough host families, then some students will go unmatched.  

If you have room at your Thanksgiving table for an international student or scholar, please send the following information to Lesley Robinson at lrob@princeton.edu or 609-258-7055  by Tuesday, November 12:

- Name, address, phone, e-mail
- How many students/scholars you would be able to host

Thank you!

Volunteer ESL Tutors Needed

TUTORS SOUGHT FOR THE 'INDIVIDUAL ENGLISH CONVERSATION PROGRAM' OF THE FRIENDS OF DAVIS INTERNATIONAL CENTER AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

The Individual English Conversation Program is one of several programs run by the Friends of Davis International Center. This program matches graduate students and visiting scholars at the University with a volunteer tutor to practice conversational English. This is a one-on-one program. The pair is expected to meet for an hour or so once a week for up to an academic year. The main purpose is to give the student the opportunity to improve his or her English skills with the guidance of a native speaker, in an informal atmosphere. Tutors often find themselves assisting in a variety of other ways to help the student adjust to life in Princeton, and new friendships develop. This is a highly rewarding activity for both the volunteer and the student.

At least 50 students are enrolled at any given time, so new tutors are always in demand. The most important qualification is that the tutor be a native English speaker. No teaching or ESL experience is required.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, or have any questions, please contact Program coordinator Carl Clough at cgclough16@embarqmail.com (908.359.8801) or Hanna Hand at 609.258.1170 (Davis International Center). Thank you!
