Over 50 new students arrived to VSU campus from different countries. Center for International Programs held its annual orientation in order to make them feel welcomed and to provide them with useful information. The young scholars had an opportunity to learn more about the university, local community, and services available to them on- and off-campus.

The next day CIP faculty staff helped students to shop for their dorm necessities and to get settled in Valdosta. Students visited local shopping centers, bank, and enjoyed the view of the town.
