IU officials and undergraduate students traveled to China this past week to prepare international students for their arrival in August, according to a press release.
IU2U, an initiative that seeks to expose international students to the University culture, met with future students in Beijing on July 10 and 12.
The program organized two one-day sessions ?focused on academic goals, student life and course ?planning.
Parents were given the opportunity to attend a workshop on how to support their international student from home, the press release said.
“IU2U will be an invaluable opportunity to new international students as they prepare for academics and student life, and it is also a high-impact cultural and leadership experience for current undergraduate ?students at IU Bloomington,” Undergraduate Education Vice Provost Dennis Groth said in a press release.
Representatives from six University entities, including the College of Arts and Sciences and the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, were present to lead the workshop.
