Donations for Wesleyan College International Students

This upcoming school year, Wesleyan College is expecting about 35 international students. These students face the challenges of all College students, such as transitioning away from home and beginning their studies, in addition to extra challenges such as navigating a foreign country, applying for a visa, setting up a bank account, etc.. To assist these students during this transition, Wesleyan has launched a donation drive aimed at providing essential items and support. Items include twin-sized bedding, blankets, hangers, detergent, etc.
