Office for International Students and Scholars VESTA INITIATIVES = Welcome and Intercultural activities

VESTA? Quid? Vesta refers to the Roman Goddess of the hearth fire. In the Roman Vesta-Temple, the Vestal Virgins had to maintain the eternal fire. VESTA at K.U.Leuven stands for: welcoming international guests and make them feel at home: the fire of hospitality.

Vesta Committee The Vesta-Initiatives are taken by a Committee, composed of: colleagues of the Social Services for international students (housing, social service), some International Programme Co-ordinators, the person responsible for of the international students associations and for Pangaea (our international meeting centre). For, myself, I’m the co-ordinator of VESTA
