 International Student Names
Description
 Submit information on the 3 international students you have found to interview. The instructors will look for duplicate international student names.
Requirements
 Project 1 requires you to interview at least 3 students from 2 different continents. Each student you propose to interview must be from a different country.

Provide the following information for each of the international students you would like to interview:

  • Student name
  • Country of origin
  • Continent of origin
  • Number of years in the US
  • Sex (male or female)
  • Student major (journalism) and year (sophomore)
Turn in this exercise by sending an e-mail with the above information on each student to Professor Trammell [ ktrammell@jou.ufl.edu ]. The subject line should be “International Student Names” and be signed with your full name.
Purpose
 Project 1 is intended to paint a truly international perspective of life in the US & at UF. Therefore, we must ensure that one country or continent is not over-represented.
