International Awareness

The University of Kansas believes that the increasing interdependence of the world highlights the importance of an internationally diverse student body. KU has been named one of only five universities in the nation to receive the 2005 Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization from NAFSA: Association of International Educators. International students enrich the intellectual and cultural life of the university. Interactions between students from abroad and U.S. students and faculty members are valuable opportunities for all involved to grow in cross-cultural understanding and develop greater awareness of the world’s cultures, ideas, and nationalities.
