COSEP is short for COmmunity SErvice Program for Foreign Students, Faculty and Families. Founded in 1968, COSEP provides off-campus support to international students and has assisted hundreds of students from abroad by providing a variety of services including hospitality in Oxford and surrounding area homes (that might involve a meal or family outing), an annual welcoming picnic in the Fall, and an endowed fund to provide modest, short-term emergency assistance for international students and families who may have special needs.
If you believe that you can spare a few hours of your time to interact with an international student (or two!) by extending an invitation for dinner or some other activity, please contact our Host Family Coordinators, Don and Corrine Kidd, at 524-8016 or corrine@mucosep.org.
