Hello, world (literally)! We've created this blog to keep our alumni, colleagues, friends, fans, and prospective students around the globe up-to-date on the exciting happenings in the international community at Wheeling Jesuit University. We'll try to keep you posted on all the latest news and events in the highly regarded and ever-growing International Student Center, and we'll pay special attention to the dynamic activity of the English Language Institute (ELI). The ELI at the International Student Center is a joyful, supportive, and rigorous school for the study of English as a learning language. Here, students from 5 continents gather to take classes, experience a slice of American life, exchange ideas and customs, and develop lasting relationships with classmates, teachers, and mentors. You'd have trouble finding another place in Wheeling where you can taste Ukrainian pyrohy, get some beautiful henna hand art, watch a Congolese folk fashion show, listen to live Greek music, hear family stories about South Korean holidays, and feel like a true citizen of the world. Yep, ELI is pretty special place (just ask the students in the photo below). We hope you enjoy learning more about it from this blog!
Pictured below is Eileen Viglietta, the Director of the International Student Center. This summer is a busy one for her and her staff, who will be welcoming over 60 new students in the coming weeks! We'll be sure to share our stories with you as the sun continues to shine on our happy corner of Wheeling Jesuit University.
Stay tuned!
