International students enjoy special party

The International Student Office (ISO) held a welcome party for all the international students on Sept. 10 at the Wesley Foundation. The welcome back party is celebrated every Fall semester with the purposes of helping international students to meet new people, get connections, and get involved.

ISO provided several activities during the party, such as, drawing lots with fabulous prizes, limbo competition and dancing. Many students gave a positive feedback for the party.

“The party is a lot different than last year, this year is more fun” says Ami Wang, an international student from China.

The welcome back party is not only a way to meet new people but also a good opportunity to learn another culture. There are many students who wear their home traditional dress. For example, Saru Pahari, a student from Nepal wears her traditional dress to share her culture with other students.

There are about 202 international students this year, and most of them come from Asia and Latin America. Many students need a lot of encouragement to come to this foreign country for a better education. “I respect and admire all the international students who come to this country” says Kristine Combs, the director of International Student Office.

ISO helps international students solve any problem they might have. They encourage them to network with other students while maintaining good academic standards.
