Stephanie and Keng We: Their stories One in a series of International Week videos May 15, 2008 From staff reports
Ohio University is proud to celebrate its global community, comprising students, faculty and staff from more than 100 countries. In keeping with the spirit embodied in the theme of International Week 2008, "Your World, Your Story," Outlook invited members from our community to interview one another about their personal experiences here and abroad and a little bit about what makes Ohio University a place they can call home.
