CU Denver Volunteers

2025 CU at the Table

Give the gift of a meal in your home while helping international students at CU Denver feel welcome in our community. CU at the Table is a great opportunity to learn about other customs, share cultures, and meet some of the current international students studying at CU Denver.

Sign up to host two or more students on the date and time of your choosing between November 7 – 23, or 27 (Thanksgiving Day). Meal expenses may be credited as a gift in kind.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Hosts: Sign up to host a minimum of two students for a meal at the date, time, and location of your choosing by October 17.

Students: Students will sign up for a meal that works with their schedule and transportation ability by November 1.

CU Denver staff will connect hosts and students prior to the scheduled meal via email.

Enjoy your meal and conversations, and stay connected afterwards!

Note: Completing this form does not guarantee a hosting opportunity. CU Denver Alumni or the Office of International Affairs staff will be in contact with further details closer to your meal date.

CU at the Table is an initiative of CU Denver Alumni and the Office of International Affairs.

Meal Details & Information

The following information will be provided to students so that they can select a meal that best meets their needs. Most students will be traveling from the Auraria Campus via public transportation or from the Dayton RTD Station. Students enjoy seeing the inside of an American home, so we encourage you to host the meal in your home when possible. We request that you do not serve alcohol during your meal. Please provide complete information below. There is no such thing as too many details!

List the COMPLETE address for the location of the meal you will be hosting. You may host your meal in your home or a restaurant of your choosing. If possible, we recommend hosting the meal in your home as international students enjoy getting a glimpse into an American home. ^*

What time would you like students arrive? (preferred time between noon and 7 pm) ^*

Is your meal location within 10 miles of CU Denver? ^*

Do you have any pets in the home? ^*

If you answered yes to pets, please share more about your pet(s) that can be provided to students when they select meals. Having pets in the home is not typical in other parts of the world, so we want to ensure our students are aware ahead of the meal and when making their meal selection.
