Carol Douglass - KC City Director/Campus Staff 
 

Carol is the City Director for ISI Kansas City, as well as working as a Campus staff person too.  She is on staff full-time with ISI, and has been with ISI since 1998.

Carol received a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Kansas, and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas.  She was an individual and marriage counselor in Irving, TX, along with being full-time staff with Campus Crusade for Christ since 1977 before joining the staff of ISI.

Carol has worked with international students since 1982 in both Japan and in the U.S.  She can't imagine doing anything that she loves more than helping international students and helping get Friendship Partners involved in the lives of the students through this ministry. 



Eric and Melody Craven - Friendship Partner Coordinators 
 

 

Eric and Melody have worked with ISI since 1992, when they helped run a conversational English school for international students in Buffalo, N.Y.  They returned to Eric's hometown of Kansas City in 1998, and currently help coordinate the ISI Friendship Partner program. 

 

International students come to their home for International Student Fellowship (ISF) and Game Nights about every other week.  Their children - Ashley, Nicholas and Sophie, have been interacting with international students all their lives.

Eric and Melody were international students themselves in 
China and Europe
.  Both attended the University of Buffalo and received their Masters degrees in education, teaching English to speakers of other languages.  Eric currently works full time as an artist at The Kansas City Star and as a freelance illustrator and Melody works more than full time as a home-schooling mother of three.

 



Mike and Jill Mitchell - Park University ISI Representatives 
 


Mike and Jill are our key volunteers in charge of
Park University.  Mike and Jill have been welcoming international students to Kansas City since 1988.  In 1993 they contacted the international student advisor at Park University and offered to match new international students with American Friendship Partners and have been doing that ever since.  All that they have done over these many years is because they love international students.

 

Mike has a Masters Degree in Biology from UMKC and works in a science-related legal position.  Jill works for an airlines company and schedules maintenance on jet engines.
