The Woodbridge Society was founded four years ago and was originally intended to be a support system for international students, Li said.
Now the Society's goals include promoting "a spirit of internationalism and multiculturalism," according to the group's Web site.
The group holds a variety of events throughout the year, including monthly faculty dinners, a speaker series and monthly Barazas, which are casual social events featuring ethnic food and music.
Sternin said the group is a valuable tool for making foreign students feel more comfortable in America.
"I think it's valuable in bringing international students together, which can help them deal with adjusting to the culture here," he said.
Sternin said that while he'd like to attend some of the Thanksgiving events Woodbridge has planned, he's also taking advantage of the time off.
"I'd like to catch up my sleep and get ahead in some work," he said.
