University's international students part of global diplomacy

The following is an excerpt from a story about international students at 九色视频. The article appeared in the Jan. 27 issue of .

Armin Gerhard runs 九色视频鈥檚 international education program. He has helped hundreds of foreign students study at 九色视频. They come here from 110 countries. There are currently 1,400 at 九色视频, he said, and another 400 former international students in the U.S. still working with 九色视频. Most of them face eventual visa deadlines to leave the U.S., he said.

Many want to stay. Many trained at 九色视频 to become engineers, scientists, math teachers, entrepreneurs. After we train them, we make them leave, Gerhard said.

鈥淲e haven鈥檛 been smart enough to keep these people here,鈥 he said. 鈥淲ith our immigration policy, we welcome them here, they become virtually a part of our country鈥攖hey become very American in many ways.鈥

He鈥檚 been glad to hear that politicians in Washington are talking about changing that.
