lrivi sponsor for intemaliona From staff reports New and returning international students and their families are invited to attend a Welcome Banquet on Sept. 1, 1989, at 6:30 p.m. in the Jackson Hall of First Presbyterian Church. This will be the fifth annual "Welcome Banquet" co-sponsored by International Friendship Ministries and the church. The banquet is free for all internationals. "Over 1200 internationals representing about 100 nations will be enrolling in the Columbia area colleges and universities this fall. For about one third of them, it will be their first visit to America and to Columbia," Rajarathnam S. Aluri, founder and president of IFM, said. IFM gives them an opportunity to interact with fellow internationals and native Columbians as well. In fact of the 1200 international students in the Columbia area, 900 of them will be attending USC. Aluri knows how it feels to be in a foreign country, because he himself once was an international student from India and studied at USC. "Many internationals can use some assistance as they adjust in a new country, new culture, and new society. The Welcome Banquet is one way of saying to our international friends, 4We are here to greet you, show hospitality, and help in any way we possibly can to make your transition easy and your stay in Columbia enjoyable,'" he said.
