- 4/11/2008 International Students Bring Diversity to the Truman School
- An increase in enrollment of international students reflects the visibility and prestige of a degree from the Truman School of Public Affairs. The School has 35 international students enrolled this semester. These students comprise 32% of the student body, a proportion that is similar to that found in peer institutions around the country, according to informal research by Truman School director, Bart Wechsler. More students come from South Korea than any other country, but students are drawn from other Asian countries, including China, Taiwan and Vietnam as well as former Soviet bloc counties, such as Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Kosovo. In addition, one student is from Peru and another is from Afghanistan. These international students bring different experiences and perspectives which both broaden and enrich the learning experience for all students.
