For participants in Westminster College's foster program, the definition of family goes beyond blood relations and friends to forging lasting, solid bonds with strangers from a strange land.
The purpose of the program is to provide a support system for Westminster's international students as they acclimate themselves to a new culture, while the host families have the benefit of experiencing a new culture as well.
Fulton resident Carolyn Hulett and her husband, Deane, have been providing a home away from home to eight students over the past four years.
