International event to raise awareness
Today marks the start of International Awareness Week, hosted by KU's International Student Association.
said Tao, a junior from Shanghai, China.
Maya Tao, public relations chair of ISA, said this week is the group's biggest event of the year.
"We're helping the local community develop a complete understanding of the world."
International students make up almost seven percent of the student body population, according to resources provided by International Student and Scholar Services. In the international student population of campus, 110 countries are represented.
Tao said that number of countries would allow for a broad cultural experience for at-
tendedes, especially at events like Thursday's World Expo.
All of the events are open to the University and Lawrence community. Tao said the group invited local schools to the events as well.
"The purpose of this is to give the community cultural awareness, so that we have a better understanding of the world."
