The 15 students who
studied in foreign countries
last semester were
welcomed home last week
at a reception sponsored by
the Office of International
Education. The event also
was an opportunity to meet
several students from other
countries spending spring
semester at Lehigh.
Anne H. Thomas,
director of international
students and scholars, said
the reception, which is held
each semester, is also a way
to attract more students to
consider study-abroad
opportunities. "Everyone
who's studied abroad has
testified it's life changing,"
she said.
Thomas said Lehigh
currently has 47 students
studying abroad, as well as
500 international students
on campus from 67 nations'.
"It's, wonderful to see this
two-way street," she said.
Her office also sponsors a
"partnership" program in
which American students
are paired with foreign
students during their stay
at Lehigh.
Among those attending
the reception were five
students from the University
of Buckingham in England:
Werner Beduhn, Fiona
Campbell, Vikram Lokur,
Clemens Toepfer and
Andreas VonFilz.
Students returning from
study-abroad programs are
Jennifer George, Maia
Gomory, Cathryn Iannotta
and Meredith Thorpe who
attended the Institute of
Italian Studies in Florence,
Italy; Irene Dell Bene and
Jeremy Weitz who attended
the University of
Buckingham; Justine Kaiser
and Rebecca Lennon who
attended a Drew University
program in Brussels, and
John McCumber,
Bernadette Ryan and
Brad Snyder who attended
Butler University in
Australia.
Also returning were
Yvonne Christinger who
attended a Swarthmore
College program in Grenoble,
France; Dierdre O'Connor
who attended at Stanford
University program in Rome;
Judith Morgan who studied
in Athens, Greece; and Lisa
Turek, who attended a New
York University program in
Madrid.
Study Abroad
Coordinator Karen R.
Keim said the office is
working on establishing
liaisons with more
universities as well as s
everal internal programs.
To raise money for an
international student
scholarship, the group also
is selling Lehigh T-shirts
with flags of all the countries
in the world for $13. For
information, call 758-3351.
