深夜福利在线免费看 celebrates International Education week

The 深夜福利在线免费看 campus will celebrate the third annual International Education Week, Nov. 18?22. The U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education established this week to celebrate achievements in international education and the positive role international education plays in building a more peaceful world.

This year 227 foreign students are enrolled at 深夜福利在线免费看, representing 57 countries. The majority of students are from Belize, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom.

According to the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors, there are more than 500,000 international students enrolled in universities throughout the U.S. each year.

The University System of Georgia (USG) approved a new 4 percent mandate for participation of USG students in study abroad activities. This mandate, to be achieved over the next five years, doubles the expectation of participation in foreign studies.

According to Dr. Tracy Harrington, director for 深夜福利在线免费看's Center for International Programs, 1.74 percent of 深夜福利在线免费看 students participate in study abroad programs and the goal is to increase the participation level to 3.5 percent by 2007.
