As the holiday season approaches, Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) is thrilled to reintroduce a heartwarming tradition, our Thanksgiving Host Program. OISS is connecting our international students and scholars with the extended Lehigh family – our dedicated faculty, staff, and local domestic students who open their homes and hearts for an unforgettable Thanksgiving experience.
If you're a Lehigh faculty member, staff, or a local domestic student, please sign up here to be a host and extend the warmth of your family to our global community.
If you are an international student or scholar, please sign up here to be our guest and enjoy a special Thanksgiving celebration with a local Lehigh family. (Note: International scholars are individuals engaged in temporary academic activities at Lehigh under a non-immigrant visa, such as visiting graduate students, postdocs, and visiting faculty, who are not currently enrolled as regular students.)

Students will be required to meet with a faculty/staff member at least twice for 30 minutes (once in September and once in October). During these meetings, faculty/staff members will help students set academic and personal goals, consider resources for success, and encourage thoughtful reflection around bLUeprint's 5 Foundations. The first meeting will include discussing the student's overall transition to Lehigh, goal setting, and planning and tracking progress of the 5x10 program. The first meeting should take place in September around week 3 of classes.

Join us for a conversation with Artist Georgia b. Smith as she talks about her series "Cavernous Bodies" and her collaboration with Lehigh students during her residency with Zoellner Arts Center. Combining her background in dance and metal fabrication, Georgia B. Smith's "Cavernous Bodies" is a research experiment in wearable silicone objects that inflate and expand using soft robotics techniques. Set to a droning, mechanical soundtrack and the clicking sounds of her robotic pieces, her work includes the organic-looking pieces, as well as videos showing them in use on a human body. Inspired by butoh and the notion of transforming bodies into inanimate material, Smith says she worked backward from those ideas to create her pieces, which attempt to breathe life into inanimate objects as a way to approach thoughts about the relationship between humans and the built environment. It's a relationship Smith sees as less separate than we make it — "the unnaturalness of the natural and naturalness of the natural" — as she describes it.
Lunch will be provided. Event is offered in partnership with Zoellner Arts Center.
Please register in advance here.
Georgia b. Smith creates sculptural environments which she activates through performance. Her sculptures become prosthetic parts of performers' bodies or perform themselves through motors, lights, and sound. The film is often the end point of each project. The film becomes an extension of the choreography and captures a world where the performers, props, and stage are all equally active participants in the performance. Georgia b. Smith is an interdisciplinary artist. She was the artistic director of a dance company NOT for reTALE. She is a former member of the dance company Leimay, premiering "Borders" at BAM Fisher in 2016. Georgia b. is working on her series Polite Structures and recently completed a European Tour in Berlin, Prague, and Amsterdam. Georgia b. received her MFA at the University of Michigan where she has launched her newest series "Plastic Abodes" and "Cavernous Bodies."
