International Affairs Commissioner’s Report

Adam Fardy

Good evening,

I hope everyone’s Halloween weekend was a great one.  This week, I have been reviewing and preparing comments for numerous proposals for my first University International Council meeting on Friday.  These proposals include a few new study abroad programs both in Honduras and Poland.  The board will also be reviewing various international agreements between China, Malaysia, and Ohio University.  These various international agreements will provide an increase in the international undergraduate enrollment for the university.  I look forward to hearing these proposals and getting started with the council.

The Pumpkin Carving event that was presented by ACE last Wednesday was a great success.  A lot of individuals turned out and it was a great event to have before the Halloween festivities.  Just a reminder, that ASU will be having the “ASU Men’s Cookoff” on Saturday, November 4^th at 7:30 p.m.  The event will be held in the Ping center.  Also, PERMIAS will be hosting “Movie Night” on November 3^rd  from 4-9 p.m. and November 4^th from 3-7 p.m.  The event will be held in Scripps 111.

Lastly, the Athens Friends of International Students (AFIS), hosts a weekly coffee hour in the Voigt Hall lobby from 11:30 to 12:30.  The coffee hour enables international students and community members to form positive friendships with one another, so please feel free to attend.
