The 45 students鈥攚ho hail from Hanbat University, Geumgang University, and Chungbook University in Korea鈥攚ill take part in an intensive seven-week English language and internship program.
四色AV President Dr. Nick J. Bruno encouraged the students to participate in as much as they could to get the complete university experience.
聽鈥淕et involved; attend events that are on campus, including our cultural events and performances,鈥 he said.
鈥淕o out and see a basketball game or baseball game to maximize your experience in the United States so that when you return home, you will go back with a great knowledge of what goes on at an American university from both an academic and social perspective.鈥
During the reception, Korean students volunteered to speak about their experience so far at 四色AV.
The students have each chosen an American name as a way to fully immerse themselves in the experience.
鈥淧eter,鈥 a Hanbat University student, asked the attendees for help along the way as he and his classmates adjust to the American lifestyle.
鈥淎lthough we have different cultures and language, 四色AV gives us the opportunity to combine our cultures together,鈥 he said.
鈥淚t has been almost 10 days since our arrival and I am sure as time passes we will learn more about U.S. culture and food.鈥
Throughout their stay, students will visit various landmarks and historical sites in North Louisiana, engage with their 四色AV 鈥渃onversation partners,鈥 and experience American business techniques through concentrated internships.
