Foreign Students Start Orientation This Week

Forty eight foreign students from 27 different countries will come to KU Friday for the beginning of a six-week orientation period. The students, most of whom have never been in the United States before, are either graduate students or professional people.
All but one of the students will go to a school other than KU during the academic year. They are sponsored by the Department of State and the Institute of International Education.
The students are now arriving on both the east and west coasts. Most of them will travel by train to KU.
KU is one of nine foreign student orientation centers created by an act of Congress in 1950. Six of the centers are general and three are for students from specific areas. KU is the only Midwest center.
Students were selected by a bimational committee made up of educators from the applicant's country and cultural officers of U.S. legations in that country. Selections were made on a basis of a written exam and a personal interview.
During their six weeks at KU the students will have an opportunity to increase their proficiency in written and spoken English and to become familiar with the customs and the culture of the United States and with classroom procedures of U. S. colleges and universities.
