In September, a group of 13 Russian university administrators and Ministry of Education officials, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program, spent several days on the Bloomington campus. They came to learn more about foreign student administration and exchange services, with the view toward increasing greater participation of U.S.-to-Russia student exchanges. They were hosted at a reception sponsored by IUB’s Emeriti House, where they were able to discuss academic issues with many of IUB’s knowledgeable retired faculty.

In May, four students from the Burmese Refugee Scholarship Program (BRSP), administered for many years by the Office of International Programs, grad- uated from IU.
