Before the program began, students had snacks and refreshments while watching a slideshow of photos from past Chatham Study Abroad trips and of international students enjoying Pittsburgh. The event began with a welcome by a new member of the Chatham com- munity, vice president of Academic Affairs, Dr. Wenying Xu. In her speech Xu spoke about her background and what brought her to Chatham. Xu said that global focus is what brought her to Chatham. She encour- aged international students to make friends with American students and told American students to help the international students. “I thought that there were so many people, not just international and American students, and that impressed me,” said Shin Jung Kim, an international student, when asked about how she enjoyed the event.
