Topics: Choosing a U.S. Institution
In an effort to recruit and retain international students, a number of universities have created organizations that are designed to welcome and support global learners. These initiatives are often created to help international scholars with their move to the U.S.
For example, Modesto Junior College in California recently welcomed 23 new global students and their host families at the 50th Anniversary International Family Day Picnic, Pirate's Log, the student publication, reports. The picnic was hosted by the Citizens' Committee for International Students (CCIS).
Over the past 50 years, the CCIS has brought together community volunteers to organize social gatherings and to help global students with cultural adjustment and housing.
CCIS members "are such a great group of really caring people," Mary Alice Onorato, CCIS chair, told the news source. Onorato came to the U.S. from the Amazonas of Brazil to acquire an education.
According to the Institute of International Education, 50 percent of American universities reported increased global student enrollments during 2009. These learners accounted for approximately 3.7 percent of the total student population.
