The goal is to get each of the students to look beyond Fresno.

I'm very excited about it.

This is one of the best things we can do for our students.

Generally speaking, after 9/11 there was a downward trend in international student numbers. Some international students found it harder to get a visa. At the same time, we had radically rising costs (in tuition).

For students who sign up for the program, we guarantee transfer with a scholarship.

Because the noise level was a problem for some students, we told them they could go to another room. The supervisor ended up making the call to stay, and I understand that the call may not have been fair to all.
