Summer is officially coming to a close and fall is upon us.
For most, that means that school is going to be back in session and CSI is no
exception! In fact, fall is when we welcome back more than 2500 International
Students. These students come to CSI from over 90 countries and look to CSI as
their school of choice.
Looking back, this is an amazing accomplishment because a
little less than 10 years ago we did not even have a single International
Student roaming our halls. Even more amazing is that we are now recognized in
the top five F1 and M1 schools in the country by SEVIS. To put these numbers
into perspective we are now on par with Cornell University!
It pleases me to point out that most of the team members
that started our International efforts are very well respected and still with
CSI. ---------, ----------, ---------, and ---------- will all be able to
tell you their stories firsthand about the history and challenges associated
with building the program.
I am proud to say that our founder, ----------, embodied
the leadership to have a vision and built a strategy that could be executed
upon. It is inspirational to me how the right team at the right time can make
an amazing impact in so many people’s lives. This is a testament to how working
together with the best interest of the student in mind can overcome any obstacle.
It is in the spirit of team work that I would like to send
this message: Some of you are functional members of our teams and some of you
are leading teams, but all of us are on team CSI. As your leader and driving
force at CSI, I am focusing all of my efforts to continue the tradition of
dreaming big, team building and developing great leadership.
The results below are a great indicator of what can happen
when different people, from different backgrounds, can be united under one
vision to achieve great things. I would like to thank -----, -----, -----, and ---- for making so many students’ dreams of attending CSI a reality.
