WE ARE STILL IN NEED OF ADDITIONAL STAYOVER HOSTS FOR BOTH DATES

ESPECIALLY MALE HOSTS!

 

 

**Host applications will continue to be accepted as long as hosts are needed**

 

Stay-Over Dates are:  Thursday, April 3 (Week 1) & Thursday, April 10 (Week

2)

 

Online Application:

http://web.due.uci.edu/chp/documents/2008%20CHP-SOP%20Host%20App.pdf

 

You will be doing the CHP a big favor if you agree to host.  StayOver has a profound impact on the prospective freshmen who attend!

 

 

FAQ for StayOver Hosts:

-  All Hosts get a free t-shirt and meal card (if you don’t have a meal plan) to use with your guest at the commons

- You can volunteer to host for one or both dates

- Applications are available in the Honors Office, online, or from a CHP HA/RA

- There will be organized activities in Mesa Court on April 3rd and AV on April 10th, so you don’t have to entertain your guest all by yourself the entire time!

- You don’t have to live in an honors house/hall to host; if you live anywhere in Mesa Court, Middle Earth, or Arroyo Vista, you are welcome and encouraged to host!

- Even if you have a late class like a lab, you can have a friend or another stay-over host meet and pick-up your guest for you and then join them when you’re done!

- Even non-CHP students living in an honors hall/house can host!

- You can host 2 guests on the same night if you want!  Indicate on your application is you are willing to host multiple guests on the same night. 

 

Things to do with your guest:

- Visit the ARC

- Take them to the University Center

- Tour the Campus

- Visit the other honors freshman hall(s) (depending on where you’re living)

- Take them to class with you

- Bring them to Coffee Hour the next morning
