April 2012 Dear International Student: On behalf of the International Student Programs Department, I’d like to welcome you to Macalester College. We’ve all been looking forward to your arrival, and to facilitating a positive educational experience with you until you graduate. As the Director of International Student Programs, I’m available on a regular basis during your stay at Macalester to provide information and assistance to you in dealing with federal and state regulations affecting international students (e.g., immigration, visa, tax), as well as supporting you academically, culturally, and personally. Within a few weeks of your arrival, I’ll schedule an appointment for us to get together and chat about any concerns you have and allow us to understand each other better. Our office provides diverse opportunities to you including orientation, a mentor program, a host family program, and a myriad of educational programs on topics such as employment options, health concerns, the arts, understanding the community, cultural and global issues. Please visit us. It’s even okay if you come to see me when something good happens to you and not simply during crisis. In fact, I sometimes enjoy visits when I hear good news more than problems. In all sincerity, there are few things I enjoy as much as meeting new students. I hope to assist you in becoming an active participant and leader in various international programs and events. The International Student Handbook (ISH) provides you with general information about the campus and special interests of international students. Please give us feedback on how to improve it next year. Also, please consult the College Catalog and the Student Handbook online for more detailed information about academic and community life. Best Regards, Aaron C. Colhapp Director of International Student Programs 3
