This fall, ORU admitted international students from more than 80 countries. In order to help these students acclimate to campus, the International Center was established.
November 14, ORU opened the doors of the new center, which was designed to increase global culture on campus and to accommodate the influx of international students attending ORU from globalization efforts.
“We are a very diverse campus. I am really glad that ORU has created this special place, where students can come fellowship, learn about the globe and find help,” said David Grabovenko, a senior from Perm City, Russia. “I truly believe that the International Center can serve as the link between American students and internationals. I really hope that this center will become a place that will unite students with the globe.”
Dr. Marcela Chaván was named as the director of the new International Center this fall.
ORU alumni serve in over 150 nations around the world. The university continues efforts to increase its presence to include every inhabited continent and to fulfill the global mandate of ORU.
