Along with our 65 continuing degree seekers (16 seniors, 34 juniors, 15 sophomores), you are an impressive group of 120 international students on campus for 2012-2013 academic year!

Our mission is to support, encourage, and celebrate your presence on campus! Our goal is to help all of you feel at home both at "K" and in the world.
