  • The Western Carolinian 7 Thursday, October 2, 1986 International Goodwill begins at Home How do you train a future ambassador? The surprising answer is: Send him to Indiana. The' Indiana International Student Exchange (INDEX) connects foreign and American students with multinational companies and public agencies. Students progress through company visits, to problem-solving seminars, and finally, into internships, gaining hands-on experience along the way. For their part, the companies get fresh ideas - and, sometimes, new employees. At the problem-solving stage, students meet with selected professors and with professionals from a particular company or agency, to discuss a specific dilemma -forexample, trade relations with a developing nation. The seminars allow students to make tough decisions in a safe environment says Carol Nelson, program coordinator. More advanced students go on to become consultants to businesses seeking help with special problems encountered in expanding their international markets. These ties between students and business leaders do much more than simply solve the problems at hand. They build bridges of intercultural understanding while helping students develop professional contacts. A case in point The Eli Lilly Company hires 10-25 new employees for foreign assignments each year. Usually, it hires foreign students who want to return to their home country-or, at least to their home region. Working with INDEX gives the company a firsthand lookata number of candidates. "Even if we find only one or two excellent prospects, it's worth the effort," says John Vice, manager of international personnel services. After the company hires foreign graduates, it has them work in Indiana for a year before sending them to overseas assignments. This training period strengthens the new employees' network with coworkers. When they return home, "they know the corporate players, and can work with them one-on- one," says Vice. What Makes It Work? Commitment from academic and business leaders gave INDEX a strong beginning in 1983. The Indiana Consortium for International Programs and state business executives worked hard to prove the program was practical. Jay Lahr of the Elliott- Williams Company, then president of the World Trade Club of Indiana, offered his firm as a test location for INDEX. "We needed to prove how it could be accomplished logistically, how it could work." Funding came from the Agency for International Development and the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs. The grants end this year, but INDEX leaders plan to increase state support of the program-through a fundraising campaign, state government aid, and fees from consulting services. Volunteers from the Society for Retired Executives have also assisted INDEX. In a few short years, the program has reached many people directly, including more than 200 students. Indirectly, it's reached many more, spreading intercultural cooperation at home and abroad. WCU's Host Family Program Each year over 250,000 students come to our country to study from countries all over th world. While they are here their first priority Is naturally their studies, but their experiences beyond theclassroom are one of the most valuable and memorable parts of their stay. They return home with memories that will Influence their feelings about our country for the rest of their lives, and that is one reason why both these students and the participants In any host family program are truly "unofficial ambassadors" in every sense of the word. It is a commitment to an exciting challenge. Many students are eager to learn as much as possible about all aspects of American life, and the hospitality of individual American families can help provide this multidimensional view. More importantly, what a hostfamilymeanstoastudentis that there is some here in the community who will make an effort to see their student as an individual with needs, background, education, interests, goals, and personality all their own. The Host Family Program is designed to provide this opportunity to increase world awareness and to learn about other cultures. Your international student has a contribution to maketoyourfamily.thecollege.and your community, and you can help the student to do just that.

Call S86-4336 for more information BOB RIGDON Ihe University of New Orleans will sponsor its 12th annual session of UNO-INNSBRUCK, an International Summer School program in Innsbruck, Austria. This educational/travel experience will involve over 250 students and some 30 faculty and staff for the summer of 1987. "UNO's popular Alpine summer school attracted students from 35 different American universities and colleges and several foreign countries for the summer of '86," says Carl Wagner, Associate Director of the Office of International Study Programs at UNO. "As a result, UNO- INNSBRUCK is now one of the drgest overseas summer schools offered by an American university." Applicants are already lining up for the 1987 session. Part of the secret may be that more than 70 courses in many different academic subject areas are offered in this magnificent and scenic Alpine Innsbruck setting in the "Heart of Central Europe". While participants can earn up to ten semester hours of credit, their classrooms are surrounded by the towering Tyrolean Alps, whose peaks are always snow-capped. Naturally, courses offered with UNO-INNSBRUCK focus on the cultural, historic, social and economic issues of Europe. But, during the 1987 session courses in business and science will also be taught." All instruction is in English, and faculty from the University of New Orleans, guest professors from other American universities and from the University of Innsbruck will participate. All college credits earned are fully transferable. A very special feature of the 1987 program will be Govenor Richard Lamm of Colorado who will teach several history courses concerning the great issues of today that Western nations must face. Stephanie Rondenell, a student participant in the 1986 UNO-INNSBRUCK program, had this to say about her European experience. "If someone were to ask me to name the most memorable experience of my life all I would have to say is 'Innsbruck'. When I think of my summer in Innsbruck, I think of the mountains that were outside my dorm window and how wonderful it was to wake up to them every morning. The people of Austria have to be some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Their willingness to talk to you about their culture and history was extremely refreshing. The weekend travel opportunities while in Innsbruck are stupendous. Vienna, Munich and Venice were among my favorites. Overall, the program offered me many opportunities to enhance my educational experience - in the classroom as well as out of the classroom." In addition to college age students like Stephanie, the UNO-INNDBRUCK program is increasingly popular with adult learners who may enroll for either credit or audit. During the session, students are housed in the Studentenhaus at the 300 year-old University of Innsbruck. The school is a five- minute walk from the many inns, cafes, and beer gardens in the "Old Town" of Innsbruck. And, three-day weekends offer ample time for students to travel, hike in the Alps, or ski on the nearby glaciers. UNO-INNSBRUCK-1987 will convene with gala opening ceremonies on June 28th and end on August 8th. An optional three- week tour of Western Europe and a one month work/study castle restoration program in Belgium are available to interested students. Registration for UNO- INNSBRUCK is already underway. Enrollment in the program is limited, so interested applicants should apply as soon as possible.
