2021-22 Invest in our ISI Santa Cruz team -- Thanks to two EXTRA donations last year, staff Peggy is now temporarily supported for 20 hours/week!! This will last from Oct. 2021 to March 2022. Your donation can keep that support going for the rest of the school year, just when more internationals are returning to campus and we are ramping up more in-person ISI events.
If not, then my support will go back down to 10 hours/week to coordinate our ISI team of 22 volunteers from 7 churches.
Our team shares quality friendship for UCSC's 2,000 cutting-edge undergrad, Masters and Phd. students, postdoctoral researchers & professors and their families.
Before COVID ISI Santa Cruz annually averaged 50 - 100 international students who participated at some point during the year in ISI friendship events They have returned to their homes around the world with memories of their ISI Santa Cruz friendship experiences. Last 3 years attendance has been way down to just a few, but we are getting a few more signups, Fall 2022 we had 75 new students signups, about 15 participated at least once during the year. Nevertheless, we've been faithfully inviting and sharing Christ's love with them however we can connect.
Thanks for your investment in sharing Christ's love with these leaders who are truly solving the most important problems of our world.
Ongoing donations-- We need your support! Funding 2021-23 averaged 20 hours/week for staff salary, (goal was 30 hours/week)
