MARTHA HOTOP News Editor,
Many people on USC's campus are
unaware of the fact that there are over
1,000 international students here.
"The typical American student at
USC doesn't realize there are international
students here," NADA resident hall
director Heather Emmert said. "The
international students have so much to
offer, and thev ODen ud Americans' views
of the world."
Since the 1970s, USC has celebrated
its diverse student body through
International Week, which began
yesterday. During the week, a variety of
events will showcase the international
students on campus. Students will also
have the opportunity to learn about
international exchange programs available
through the university.
