News From The International Affairs Office
Volume 1, Issue 6
Welcome to the New School Year!
September 2013 edition
The 2013-2014 year has started off as a busy one! Indian Hills
is home to approximately 70 international students, coming
from countries all around the world, with a majority of them
new (starting 13/FA). Welcome to those who have just arrived,
and welcome back to our returning students!
Welcome back everybody!
The International Affairs Office is providing this monthly newsletter in order to help keep you, the student, informed of important
dates and upcoming events. As the fairly new editor of Let’s Go: Your Passport Around the World, I want to not only inform you,
but entertain you with the content I put in the newsletter. If you have any ideas for future newsletters, or any questions in general,
just email me at [email protected].
Don’t forget that our weekly shuttles will be on Wednesdays. There is a day shuttle to places like the bank, doctor, post office, and
others from 3-4:30. The evening shuttle (to Wal-Mart and other stores) will be from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Since there aren’t many riders
for the day shuttle and you plan to use it, you will need to come into the International Affairs Office if you need a ride. For the
evening shuttle, the van will be parked outside of Trustee Hall.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our newsletter, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Mandatory International Student Health
Insurance Effective 13/FA
All F-1 international students (new and returning) enrolling
at IHCC for the 13/FA term or after will automatically be
enrolled in a mandatory health insurance plan. The fee will
be added to your student account each term you enroll. You
can email [email protected] if you have specific questions, and you can also visit
www.lewermark.com/indianhills for details. You should all
have received your health insurance card. Please make sure
to keep this with you at all times. You will need to present
the card at the time of receiving any services at a hospital,
clinic, emergency room, or getting a prescription filled.

New International Students for 2013-2014 school year!
Get Involved with the Multicultural Club!
The Multicultural Club hosts a lot of fun
and exciting events and activities throughout the year for both international and domestic students! It’s a great way to meet
new people and make new friends. Monthly
meetings are held in the International Affairs Office. Active members can take part
in being an officer—a great way to learn
leadership skills. Active members can also
apply for a scholarship.
