The Office of International Student Services will host a Welcome Reception for International Students at the shared main campus of Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community & Technical College from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, in the Falcon Center third floor conference rooms.

International students will be officially welcomed to the community and recognized for the new role they will play in our campus community.

Faculty, staff and students of FSU and Pierpont will be invited to become members of the campus-wide support community for international students, the International Friends Program.
