New map shows that the world is our campus
 International Programs and Services has placed a map on the second floor of the University Center to serve as a visual illustration of the University community’s relationship to the world.Blue pins on the map represent the home countries of USI’s current international students and foreign-born faculty. Red pins show that 17 USI students are currently studying abroad. A nearby plaque explains the new, permanent feature and its contents. “The map is a snapshot view of the international community that we have here at USI, both in terms of people going overseas and people coming here to be with us,” said Heidi Gregori-Gahan, director of International Programs and Services. “Jerry Bulger in the Physical Plant did a nice job of getting a custom-made case to preserve the map and keep the pins in place, and he should be commended for that,” she added. The map shows that USI’s current international students come from 35 countries. Gregori-Gahan said that if a faculty or staff member finds that his or her country is not represented on the map, he or she should contact International Programs and Services at 812/465-1248. |
