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.
Since then Aluri has earned a

"It will be eood for internation

"First impressions should be the
best impressions, and they will last
for a lifetime."
