International Connections efi byl fEms ewellites loven celebrations - and the 1983-84 school term certainly provided ,good reason for it with the eminent return of Luciano Pavarotti, the notoriety of recognition as one of the na- tion's finest comprehensive colleges by US News 'and World Report and the publication of President l. Gordon Kingsley's first book. The celebrating did not stop here, thoughp 1983-84 marked another important event worthy of celebration. The '83-'84 term commemorated William jewell's 10-year anniversary of foreign study programs. lt-was in 1973 that, the first students from the virtually unknown Campus of Achievement began attending Harlaxton College and Oxford University. . We've 'come a long way since then, said lane Lampo, who coor- dinates the overseas program. Our goal has been to build a greater interna- tional awareness for the students and to try and build a bridge between the overseas experiences and the curricular and co-curricular programs on campus. The celebration of the 10-year an- niversary was evident throughout the year with many of the yearly events tak- ing on an 'linternational flavor. We tried to tie-in as many campus events as we could by giving them inter- national themes. This year's theme for Homecoming was 'Around the World in 80 days.' Achievement Day honored alumni who have made significant con- tributions inthe international arena, The Spring Fling included a British fair, and the Commencement Exercises were highlighted 1 by the Presidents of W ,-., ,Wim .-..--. -g--'A Senin Guakwin University and Wolfson College, Cambridge University, both receiving honorary- doctorate degrees, Lampo added. Striving to more effectively bridge the British and American educational ex- periences, lewell has been developing the Oxbridge program - scheduled to ,begin Fall, 1984. The program, pattern- ed after the English tutorial system, was developed to allow students to ex- perience the best of the American and rBritish styles of instruction. Participants will complete their major totally through tutorials and will be encouraged to at- tend Oxford their junior year. A major goal of the overseas pro- gram has been to help students develop perspectives of other countries as well as their own. Lampo, in her orientation sessions, stresses international awareness to those students planning to study abroad. . During the orientations, they brought in students to try and help us to begin thinking about the customs and lifestyles of other countries - but it never hit me as much as it did when I stepped off the airplane in England! Stu- dying and traveling in Europe taught me more in five months about the Euro- peans and the way the live, than all the history classes I have had in my life! said Harlaxton alumnus Kreg Mallow. Althoughthere are major differences in the cultures and lifestyles of the peo- ple around the world, there is one aspect that seems to bridge each of the countries. ' There are numerous differences: cultural, political and idealogical, Lam- po concluded, But wherever you go people are still people, and we are all ,citizens of the same global community. 10-Year International Celebration f 5
