EARTHQUAKE MESSAGE
The staff of the Office of International Education would like to

have been affected by the recent tragic earthquake that occurred in
Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan. Our sympathies go out to those who
may have lost family and friends. Anybody interested in helping the
victims of the earthquake can contact Kashif Khan, Coordinator, OSU

HALLOWEEN PARTY
OIE invites you to join us for a Halloween Party for international
scholars, employees, and their families on Saturday, October 29 from 2-4
p.m. The party will be held in room 122 Oxley Hall, 1712 Neil Avenue.
Refreshments will be provided, and there will be games and prizes for
children and adults. Children are welcome!
This is a great way for scholars (with or without families) to meet new
people. PLEASE E-MAIL SUE DOLLINGER (dollinger.2@osu.edu) BY OCTOBER 28
to let us know if you (and any family members) will be attending.
INTERNATIONAL SPOUSES WELCOME EVENT
All spouses of OSU international scholars or employees are invited to a
meeting to learn about: things to do in Columbus, safety, health care,
English classes, volunteering opportunities, children's activities,
and other information. New international spouses will be able to hear
from spouses already familiar with Columbus, as well as to meet other
spouses. Spouses who have already spent time in Columbus are invited to
come welcome the new spouses and learn about additional opportunities.
The event will be held on Friday, October 28th from 9 a.m. to 11:30
a.m. in the lower level of University Baptist Church, 50 West Lane
Avenue. (This location is close to High street on the northern edge of

levels are invited.

reception and discussion will follow. All international scholars,
employees, and spouses are invited to attend. Tickets are $6 at the

The film has English subtitles and touches on universal issues ranging

World Park - which features displays and performances from the countries
of the world.
