For some students, heading off to college and being completely on their own for the first time can be an intimidating. Thanks to the Home Plate program, some Washington University students are enjoying a little bit of home away from home. Home Plate families are asked to host two to three home-based informal dinners over the course of the academic year for a small group of Washington University students.
After the first dinner date, students and families will schedule their own dinner plans.
All Home Plate host families and students are invited to join Chancellor and Mrs. Wrighton for the annual spring Home Plate reception at their historic University home, Harbison House.
This great opportunity enables Home Plate participants to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, great company – and maybe even a frame or two of bowling in the downstairs bowling alley. You can learn more about this program by visiting the Web site, homeplate.wustl.edu, e-mailing Risa Zwerling Wrighton at zwerling@ wustl.edu, or calling (314) 935-5040.
