We are so glad you had a nice experience here. Over the next year I will be working with international students and CEHD faculty and staff to find better ways to recruit and support international studnets. Any ideas you have are welcome!

Best,
Chris

Comment by Nadir N. Budhwani on May 31, 2008 at 4:02am: I spent 8 years in MN and although I am not in the US anymore, I still feel as if MN is my home. If there is one place where I would like to live permanently, it would be MN. In MN, I made a lot of US American and international friends. MN changed my perspective towards life and the University of MN gave me the needed energy to travel and explore how life is in other parts of the world. One of the courses I teach, Workplace Diversity, is based on my experiences of being an international student at the U of MN. Wherever I go, I make sure I mention MN and the U of MN while introducing myself. THANKS U of MN!
