Overview ➹ ➶➪ 


The Bechtel 

International 

Center believes that 

international 

educational exchange 

nurtures a lifelong 

global perspective. 

Its primary purpose, 

therefore, is to play a 

key role in making 

Stanford a truly 

international 

university. 

The Bechtel International Center also strives to: 

• facilitate understanding and 

acceptance of human differences with 

the goal of fostering cross-cultural 

tolerance and respect. 

• provide services which will enhance 

the experience of the international 

community at Stanford. 

• encourage the Stanford community to 

make use of internationally 

focused educational opportunities. 

• enhance relationships and create a 

sense of multicultural and international 

community among international 

and American students, international 

scholars, faculty, staff, community 

volunteers and local residents. 

• advise in a consistent and professional 

manner. 

• provide accurate and relevant 

information and advice. 

• treat all individuals with fairness, 

consistency and integrity. 

• foster a work environment that 

encourages responsibility, efficiency 

and excellence, values creativity and 

enthusiasm and allows for personal 

flexibility. 


Staffing 2000-2001 

There were four changes in staffing during the year. 

• In September 2000 Bob Burnette was hired as an assistant to foreign student and foreign scholar services. 

• In September 2000 Marga Castaldini was hired to coordinate room reservations and offer assistance to 

students, scholars and family members. 

• From September 2000 until May 2001 Sarah Holmes served as interim coordinator of the Overseas Resource 

Center. 

• In May 2001 Thouraya Raiss was hired as Manager of the Overseas Resource Center. 

We would also like to express our sadness at the death of Professor Paul Basch. Professor Basch was a long 

time member of the I-Center’s Faculty Advisory Board and provided the center with advice, support and 

encouragement. He will be missed. 

Program Accomplishments 2000-2001 

• Foreign students and scholars continued to receive enhanced services with the addition of new staff in 

these areas. The web pages that are directed towards foreign scholar issues were completely reworked 

allowing departments to better understand immigration procedures. Outreach was developed, on a more 

regular basis, to various areas of the University, such as the Business School and Medical School. A new 

orientation program for new departmental administrators was started. 

• During the year 9/1/2000 - 8/31/2001 Foreign Student Services processed 857 requests for work authorization 

from international students: 

Optional 119 

Post-Completion 437 

Curricular 301 

• 49 students were awarded scholarships that were administered through the Overseas Resource Center , 

including 25 students who were awarded I.I.E. Fulbright grants. 

• Evaluation of outreach efforts in the scholarship area was completed with assistance from an intern from the 

School of Education. This evaluation assisted the Overseas Resource Center to redirect some of its outreach 

efforts. 

• The Office of International Visitors programmed a total of 771 International Visitors in 97 Programs. 

• International Week (May 7-11) and the International Festival (May 12) took place with the participation of 

many international student organizations. These annual events, sponsored by the Bechtel International 

Center, are free and open to the entire Stanford community and to the public. The International Festival on 

May 12 ran from noon until after 6 p.m. with 20 performances presented by 18 different groups. Included in 

the performances were many types of music and dance, a fashion show, and martial arts demonstrations. 

9

• The Bechtel International Center Student Association offered 11 different programs during the year. 

• The I-Center, in February 2001, cooperated with NAFSA: Association of International Educators in hosting a 

two day country/culture workshop on Cuba. 

• Created and established (with the help of a committee and a very dedicated volunteer) a new Resource 

Center for International Families that provides extensive local information on educational, career and 

volunteer opportunities, recreation, travel, resources for children and more. This resource will enable spouses 

and family members to get the information they need to build a stimulating and worthwhile experience 

during their time accompanying a student or visiting scholar or faculty at Stanford. 

• 21 student organizations had their programs partially funded by the Billie Achilles Program Fund. 

• 5 art exhibits were hosted during the year. 

• Renovations to the I-Center included: Reseeding of the side lawn and enhancement of landscaping, resanding 

of Assembly Room floors and repainting of walls in Assembly Room, initial work on new heating 

system, and upgrading of the guest room. 

• The Overseas Resource Library was renovated in memory of Ann Fletcher, a long time Stanford staff member 

and a supporter of international educational exchange. 

• Contributions to Professional Associations by Staff at the I-Center: 

• Completed term as Past Chair, Community Programming Section (COMSEC), NAFSA: Association of International 

Educators, and coordinated public relations booth for the 40th Anniversary Celebration of that group. 

• Nominated to position of Chair of 2003 National Conference Planning Committee for NAFSA: Association of 

International Educators. 

• Cooperated with NAFSA on providing input to Congress on immigration legislation and in developing 

contacts with Professor William Perry who agreed to be Honorary Chair of a NAFSA Task Force on International 

Student Issues. 

• Attended national conference of NAFSA: Association of International Educators in Philadelphia. 

• Technology 

• Established a FileMaker server for database users at the I-Center, greatly improving database workflow and 

reliability. 

• Finished first phase hardware and software upgrades for all permanent staff. 

• Web homepage redesigned. New links added for immigration updates and enhanced navigation in all areas 

of our site. 

• Greatly expanded use of interactive PDF forms at all levels. 

• Continued to monitor national systems such as SEVP, which are aimed at better monitoring international 

students and scholars. 

• Maintained development of web site as a means of providing information to students, scholars, departments 

and family members for both pre-arrival and post-arrival status. 


Goals/Objectives for 2001-2002 

• Continue to enhance web site capabilities to make more efficient student and scholar 

advising 

• Continue planned renovations to the building, including a new overhead projector system in the Assembly 

Room and renovation of the furniture in the Living Room. Develop a plan for long term facility needs. 

• Coordinate planning of two anniversaries in 2003– the 50 th Anniversary of the Community Committee for 

International Students and the 40 th Anniversary of the present location of the International Center 

• Develop more standardized in-house training in immigration areas, especially in light of new staffing 

• Encourage more use of web forms by students and departments in order to decrease the cost of copying 

• Develop web resources for family members 

• Publicize the new Resource Center for International Families and train volunteers to staff the Resource 

Library for International Families 

• Continue to offer evening programs that facilitate interaction between students and community members 

• Create a peer-advising network for study and work abroad and continue to develop the mentoring system 

for scholarships 

• Involve the ORC in more collaborative efforts with such offices as VPUE, Overseas Studies, VIA, Haas Center, 

URO, Career Development Center, and various language departments. 

• Pursue some further collaborative programming with International Diplomacy Council in San Francisco 

• Maintain and upgrade our computer hardware and software regularly and implement developments such as 

installing a multi-user FORSIF environment for our immigration data base 

• Cooperate with PeopleSoft and other areas of the university to ensure that immigration needs are met by 

the new systems 

• Re-configure and upgrade FileMaker databases, including the possibility of on-line registration for new 

scholars and on-line mailing list subscription for spouses. 

• Monitor developments in electronic tracking and monitoring of international students, including cooperative 

advocacy efforts with peer institutions and Stanford’s Office of Government Relations 

• Establish the campus wide committee on Immigration Practice and Policy 

• Develop evaluations to provide information on programs and services 

11

Concerns/Issues/Challenges 

• The I-Center needs to remain involved in advocacy issues surrounding immigration. There is such uncertainty 

within federal agencies that it is no longer enough to just inform the campus of what immigration 

regulations require but rather the role is now to work with other offices on campus and across the country to 

influence the debates and decisions. This is likely to be a major challenge in the next year. The implementation 

of the campus wide committee on Immigration Policy and Practice will help bring the I-Center into 

more general university discussions 

• The balance between providing regulatory advice and offering programs of a more social and cultural 

nature remains. The additional resources in the immigration area will help not only with regulatory advising 

but in a broader approach to programming that can assist students, scholars, families and departments. 

• In terms of budget needs the following four should be noted 

1. Limited resources in the ORC given the number of students interested in 

non-Stanford study abroad and scholarship advising 

2. Increased resources are needed to assist in the area of international families 

3. Maintenance of the facility (which is an old building) for use by the entire campus community 

places increasing demand on the operating budget 

4. The services provided to international visitors need some serious assessment to assure that resources 

are adequate to meet demands 

We would be pleased to provide any further information on anything that appears in this 

Annual Report.

Services to International Families 

Services to International Families are designed to: 1) facilitate adjustment to the campus and community, 2) assist 

spouses, partners/families with information on local resources and relevant advice to the many areas of transition 

they face, 3) provide opportunities for spouses/partners to share skills and talents with the Stanford community 

through volunteer opportunities and by presenting classes and programs open to all, and 4) build a sense of community 

through which family members establish friendships and become acquainted with a variety of cultures and 

perspectives. 

In keeping with these goals, the I-Center: 

• Provided ongoing counseling & advising on topics such as: 

Options for pursuing higher education 

Career development and transitions 

Options for studying English as a Second Language 

Volunteer work as a means to further one’s career 

Children’s schools, preschools and child care options 

Tenant-landlord relations 

Cross-cultural adjustment 

Personal and family issues 

Local and Bay area resources relevant to each individual or family. 

• Conceived and laid the groundwork for a new Resource Center for International Families, including renovating 

a room, recruiting a steering committee to assure the project’s relevance to expressed needs , ordering 

books and materials, collecting local resources, and recruiting and collaborating with a dedicated volunteer 

who took responsibility for organizing the materials. The Resource Center was ready to open as of Fall 

Quarter 2001. This resource will enable spouses and family members to get the information they need to 

build a stimulating and worthwhile experience for themselves during their time accompanying a student, 

visiting scholar or faculty member at Stanford. 

• Presented Welcome Program (series of 10 programs) for spouses, partners and families of international 

students. This included: recruiting and training a Welcome Committee for International Families, consisting 

of 45 individuals speaking 20 languages, and holding several events to orient newcomers to programs at the 

I-Center, on campus and in local community. 

• Developed new materials to help newcomers with a variety of needs, such as how to locate off-campus 

housing, options for international telephone service, how to find shops that carry international goods, 

places to take children on outings, and referrals from current student families. 

• Helped organize Graduate Spouse & Partner Welcome for ALL new graduate couples, in collaboration with 

the Graduate Life Office, Work/Life Center and GSPB.

classes in languages, cooking, art and exercise and programs that fostered cross-cultural communication 

between spouses from diverse backgrounds. (Please see uarterly Programs, p. 18, for further details.) 

• Maintained weekly communication with spouses, families & partners of international students, visiting 

scholars, and faculty through a newly established email listserve. This has proven to be an effective way to 

communicate with a population that is scattered throughout local communities. 

17

• Expanded and enhanced the web pages for spouses and families, with added links and information about I- 

Center programs and a wide variety of off-campus resources. 

• Coordinated the selection process for the CCIS Spouse Education Fund. This includes publicizing the

ranged from $200 to $500, for a total of $4900. Recipients were from 11 countries, and fields of study ranged 

from the history of art to computer information systems, and from Spanish to marketing and biotechnology. 

• Collaborated with several CCIS programs, including the Orientation for New Volunteers (talk on cultural 

variations on communication style) and the Professional Liaison for International Spouses. 

• Initiated and planned new events through open meetings with an ad hoc Advisory Committee for Spouse 

Programs. These meetings provide a vehicle for feedback on existing programs and ideas for the creation of 

new ones relevant to our target community.

19

Community Committee for International Students (CCIS) 

Each and every year the success of the programs at the International Center is due in very large part to CCIS. The I- 

Center could not exist in the same way without the service of these many wonderful community volunteers. During 

2000-2001 CCIS offered up to twenty free English classes each quarter, managed a very successful loan closet, hosted 

up to sixty-five new international students before the beginning of the school year, offered English-in-Action Partnerships 

for international students and scholars, and assisted in untold ways with orientation and other I-Center 

programs. 

Two examples can serve as indicative of the assistance given to international students and scholars by CCIS during 

2000-2001. 

• One of CCIS’ successful programs is the Loan Closet. Volunteers from CCIS staff the loan closet (which is 

located in the basement of Abrams House, Escondido Village), as well as make contributions of sheets, 

blankets, towels, kitchenware, dishes and cutlery, and small appliances such as toasters, mixers and irons. 

Stanford students may borrow these items for a registration fee of $10 per person ($20 per couple or 

family) for as long as they are enrolled. 

• In 2000-2001, the English-in-Action program matched 260 international students, scholars, and wives with 

community partners. Of this total, 155 were students and scholars and 105 were spouses and family 

members. Of the 260 applicants, 91 were from Japan, 38 from China, 68 from Korea, 27 from Europe, 6 from 

Latin America, and 7 from miscellaneous countries. More than 350 community volunteers served by 

taking new partners, and continuing with partners from previous years. This program is rewarding for 

both the international person as well as the volunteer. The partnership often develops into a lifelong 

friendship. 


New International Graduate Student Orientation: September 2001 

During most of the month of September and through the first week of October, the I-Center’s Community 

Committee for International Students assisted I-Center staff by distributing packets of information to new 

international graduate students and scholars, answering basic non-immigration related questions and referring 

students and scholars who had immigration-related questions to I-Center staff. Some of the items included in 

the packet of information that was given to students were the I-Center’s Handbook for new International 

Graduate Students, a list of the I-Center’s programs and services, a concise booklet of basic visa related information 

entitled Passport to Understanding Visa Status and Benefits, information on parking and transportation, and 

a checklist of “things to do,” eg. apply for a social security number, obtain a Stanford ID card, stop by the Graduate 

Student Information Center for information about Stanford resources, orientation activities, and tips for getting 

settled at Stanford, attend the I-Center’s Orientation workshops, purchase adequate medical insurance, establish 

a bank account, etc. Representatives from the Social Security Administration were available at the I-Center for 

several hours on September 17,18, 21, and 24 to take students’ applications for Social Security numbers. 

The official “University Welcome Reception for New International Graduate Students, Visiting Scholars and Their 

Families” was held at 5:15pm on Tuesday, September 18, in the back lawn area of the I-Center. Representatives of 

twenty of Stanford’s international student organizations set up tables at this event to make their presence 

known to the new international students and scholars. In addition, a special table was set up to acquaint spouses 

with the wide variety of activities offered to them by the I-Center. Former Stanford University President Gerhard 

Caspar, Dean of Students Marc Wais, and John Pearson, Director of the I-Center, attended. Each gave a short 

speech to welcome the new international students and scholars and their families. After the speeches, a Latin 

band played Cuban music as students, scholars, and their families mingled with staff and community volunteers 

and enjoyed light refreshments. 

Among the workshops offered during Orientation week (September 18 to September 24) were: a banking 

information workshop; a workshop on registering at Stanford, F1 and J1 visa information workshops; two 

“student panel” workshops, one entitled “Stanford As We See It” and the other entitled “The Culture of the U.S. 

Classroom”; a workshop on health and insurance issues; a workshop on library resources; an automobile information 

workshop; a bicycle workshop; a workshop for future course assistants and teaching assistants entitled 

“Teaching at Stanford”. The visa information workshops were repeated the week after Orientation Week for late 

arrivals who were not able to attend the earlier visa workshops. 

Other activities offered during Orientation week included nightly “Courtyard Cafes” which offered new students a 

chance to purchase a light supper at the I-Center and meet other students in an informal setting. On the evening 

of September 19, new students had the opportunity to meet and talk with representatives from Stanford’s 

Graduate Student Council during “Meet Your Student Government Representatives” night. On the following day, 

new international students were invited to Orientation Week’s Academic Lunch, an opportunity for new international 

students to have lunch with continuing students from their departments. This event took place in the back 

yard area of the I-Center and lunch was provided free of charge by the Community Committee for International 

Students. That evening the video “Secrets of Silicon Valley” was presented along with a discussion facilitated by 

Christopher Lecuyer, PhD researcher in the history of science and technology. A talk on World Affairs and U.S. 

Politics, by Stanford professor David Abernethy, was another evening’s event during Orientation Week. 

Social events taking place at the I-Center during Orientation Week included a Reception for New International 

Graduate Women, a Disco night, and a Fiesta Night, with a performance and dance lessons provided by Stanford’s 

Ballet Folklorico. In addition, two bus trips were offered. The “Bay Area Tour”, which was organized by the Community 

for International Students was an all-day trip that included a walking tour of the U.C. Berkeley campus, lunch 

at Berkeley’s International House, and a drive through San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point. The 

second trip, a bus trip to Santa Cruz, was organized by the I-Center.

IV. Strategic Goals 

The ORC has two main goals for 2001-2002: 

• to work with the CDC and the Hass Center to determine the best place to house the ORC’s work abroad 

materials (students are frustrated with the decentralization of overseas work information) 

• to make a convincing case to hire a permanent part-time assistant. 


The Office for International Visitors (OIV) 

The Office for Internationa Visitors arranges meetings and coordinates programs for short-term visits (usually one 

day) by international scholars, scientists, university and public delegations, and other official visitors to Stanford

assisting them during their day at Stanford. Warm thanks to Brenda Borovoy, Lyman Clark, Jack Huston, Judi Keyani,

International Week and the International FestivaI 

International Week (May 7-11) and the International Festival (May 12) took place with the participation of many 

international student organizations and is an annual event sponsored by the Bechtel International Center. It is a 

free event open to the entire Stanford community and to the public. 

• International Week started off on May 7 with a documentary film “Mysteries of Egypt” presented by 

Stanford’s Egyptian Student Association. The following evening, May 8., Alternative Spring Break and Hillel 

co-presented a slideshow/discussion of an Alternative Spring Break’s trip to El Salvador. Following that 

event, the same evening, was a film “Cien Veces No Debe” presented by Argentinos En Stanford. An “interactive 

performance, “ Doroteia Masquerade” was presented by the Brazilian Student Association on May 9. The 

Stanford African Student Association presented two International Week events: on May 10 that group 

screened the documentary film “Facing the Truth”, which covered the developments at the Truth and Reconciliation 

Commision in South Africa after 1994, and on May 11, a panel discussion titled “Human Rights in 

Africa” was presented. 

• The International Festival on May 12 ran from noon until after 6pm with 20 performances presented by 18 

different groups. Included in the performances were many types of music and dance, a fashion show, and 

martial arts demonstrations. A complete list of performances is as follows: 

• Peruvian, Colombian, and Mexican dances 

• Korean drumming and dance 

• Tae Kwon Do demonstration 

• North African/West African fusion music and dance 

• Indian popular and folk music played on harmonica 

• Puerto Rican and Cuban style salsa dances 

• Classical Indian dance 

• Thai folkdances 

• Turkish folkdances

• Aikido demonstration 

• Flamenco dances 

• Persian folksongs 

• Traditional Greek folkdances 

• Bellydance

Technology at the I-Center 

Hardward and software 

• A FileMaker server for database users was established at the I-Center, greatly improving database workflow 

and reliability. This is also available to the International Office at SLAC via TCP/IP so that they may add 

records directly (previously, they sent requests to us for data input). 

• First phase hardware and software upgrades was finished for all permanent staff including 3 new iMacs. This 

allowed us to move an older iMac into the ORC Resource Library for student use. We also moved a displaced 

PowerPC allowing internet access into the new Spouse Resource Library which will open sometime in 2002. 

Web page 

• Our web homepage was redesigned— an on-going project. Accessibility issues began to be addressed. 

(NB: the I-Center had a web page in early 1993 – long before most departmental web pages at Stanford!) 

• With the addition of a vanity address, our homepage may now be accessed at http://icenter.stanford.edu (on 

campus, just type ‘icenter’ in the browser). 

• Hits to our page remained at an average of about 7900 hits per month during the Academic year. During the 

Summer, this tapers off to between 5000-6000 hits. 

• A number of new links and pages were added for immigration updates and enhanced navigation in all areas 

of our site. 

• Use of interactive PDF forms has been greatly expanded at all levels 

Other issues 

• PeopleSoft desktop connections and training commenced in August 2001. 

• The INS held an SEVP conference in August in San Diego which provided technical documentation concerning 

the SEVIS project aimed at electronically tracking all non-immigrants on F, J and M visas. All schools and 

institutions that issue visa documents for such individuals will be required to participate. This is a major 

concern and must be addressed at all University levels, especially providing SEVIS with the data that must be 

retrieved from PeopleSoft.

Students holding F-1 visas who have maintained their legal F-1 status, are eligible to apply for 

off-campus work authorization, known as "practical training." Practical Training enables a student 

to obtain practical work experience in his/her field of study to supplement the student's academic 

training. 

Practical Training received before completion of the degree falls into two categories: 1) Curricular, 

if the student receives course credit for the work experience and 2) Optional (pre-completion). 

Practical Training received after degree completion is called Post-Completion Optional 

Practical Training. 

All types of Practical Training require a preliminary authorization by one of the Designated 

School Officials at the I-Center. Students applying for either the pre-completion or post-completion 

Optional Practical Training must then submit the I-Center's preliminary authorization to INS 

in order to apply for the Employment Authorization Document that will permit them to work. 

(Only the preliminary authorization from the I-Center and not the Employment Authorization 

Document is required of students who request Curricular Practical Training.)
