I believe that most of you are arriving in Fayetteville this weekend. Remembering my own first week in the United States, you must be very nervous, excited, motivated or having all mixed feelings to get your semester started!

International Students & Scholars office has planed many activities during the orientation so that you can prepare yourself before the Fall semester starts. It includes all kinds of important information and fun activities to experience some American culture. Please check the orientation schedule carefully!

ISS organized Dinner in an American Home for graduate students on Saturday, August 13. The story was covered in the local news station, KNWA. You will have this program on Saturday, August 20th. Don’t forget to sign up!

Woooooo...

By the way, at the Graduation Orientation Welcome, Cross Cultural Mentors (CCMs) shared a part of the U of A culture, Call the Hogs.

Are you wondering “What does that mean, Woooooo… on this picture?” or “What do you mean by Hogs?” Don’t worry! You will learn this once you get here!

Take a good rest over the weekend and show your smiles to us on Monday!
