Mi Casa Es Su Casa
About
Mi Casa Es Su Casa is a program that offers students an opportunity to network and create a support system at Texas A&M University. Texas A&M Professors and staff invite current students to their homes for an evening of meaningful conversations over a home cooked meal. This program provides a chance for students to network and gain a better understanding of the various opportunities that could open up in the future. There are also giveaways involved for students when attending the dinners! Sign up today for your chance to win some swag and make meaning connections with other students, faculty, and staff!

Student FAQs
No, you do not. Everyone is encouraged to participate whether or not you are a member of MSC CAMAC.
No, you do not. Mi Casa is happy to cover the cost of attendance, however because we have limited spots, we have a cancellation policy.
If you RSVP and you do not show up to the program or notify MSC CAMAC of absence, you will no longer be able to attend future dinners. If you know you have to miss a dinner you signed up for, we ask that you let the Director of Cultural Programs know at least three days in advance. If it is less than three days, you still have the option to find someone to take your place for the courtesy of our hosts.
Advised dress code is business casual. Keep in mind that you will be interacting with Texas A&M Faculty, former students, or Staff.
We will do our best to pair up students in homes with similar career interests but it is not guaranteed due to availability and capacity. Students could be assigned to a random group and host.
You are expected to attend the dinners you select in the application form. However, if there is a dinner that you cannot attend, you must make sure to cancel three days in advance of the dinner.

HOSTS FAQ
When hosts apply, they are asked how many students they can host; the average range of students is from 6-8. However, hosts will be notified by the Director of Cultural Programs in a timely manner before the day of the dinner just to reassure the number of students going to their home.
Past hosts have spent from $50-$125. It all depends on how many students you’re willing to host.
Dinners are scheduled to begin at 6:00 pm and last no longer than two hours. From past hosts, 6:00 – 8:00 pm was the time frame that was most common. We ask that we respect our student’s time and have dinners ready by then and if there are any additional activities, make sure to include them within the two hour timeframe.
We really appreciate what our hosts do and as a token of appreciation we present them with a small gift. If time and funding permits, we also strive to provide a Mi Casa Es Su Casa closing ceremony.
