Dear International Friend,
My name is Sheila Eldred. Officially, I am
the International Student Advisor at Davis College, but my
foreign friends call me Mom, Sister, Best Friend or
Advocate. When you attend Davis College, my family will
become your American Family. My heart and home will always
be open to you, your family and your friends. As your
advisor, I will assist you in matters such as adjusting to
college life, registering for courses, utilization of
college services, and fulfilling your residential needs.
I have always been intrigued by differing
cultures. As a child, my imaginary friends were three
foreign men who lived under my parent's bed. Later, I attend
school in West Germany. I know first hand what it's like to
attempt studying in a foreign country. I want to make your
time in America easier and more enjoyable. For this reason,
I founded the Davis College International Student
Fellowship. When you're hungry for a home cooked meal or a
native dish, we'll have dinner parties and gatherings while
learning about one another's cultures. Together, we'll raise
funds, which will allow us to visit places such as
Washington DC; New York City; a beach; camping or another
destination of your choice.
I hope you will choose Davis College. I look
forward to meeting you!
You may contact me by calling
1.877.WHYDC4U (877.949.3248) or by email
at admissions@davisny.edu.
Your Sister in Christ,
Sheila Eldred
International Student Advisor
