For the 2022 Fall Semester at Gardner-Webb, the student population includes 108 international students, the highest on record. According to the Offi ce of International Student Services, they represent 45 countries on six continents. With a history of recruiting student-athletes from around the world, the University's Division I athletics program is now home to 87 internationals. For student-athletes, the most popular majors are business administration and management, while divinity, ministry and missions appeal to non-student-athletes. Other popular degree programs for both undergraduate and graduate international students are exercise science and kinesiology, criminal justice, math, biology, divinity, missions, and mental health counseling. These students are choosing Gardner-Webb's vibrant campus community from places like Ireland, Iceland and Italy, as well as Australia, Burma and China. The countries with the most students are France (10), Canada (9) and Brazil (7). "I don't know if anyone who was part of the founding of our institution some 117 years ago could have imagined us growing into a university with this kind of global reach," observed Gardner-Webb President William Downs. "Forty-fi ve foreign countries represented in our college town…that is truly astounding! A strong 21st century university will connect local students with the world, and it will attract the rest of the world to its campus. We are achieving both goals right now and with impressive results, and GWU graduates heading into a global economy will be that much better prepared for success because of it." Gardner-Webb's Director of Diversity and Inclusion Lawrence Brinson noted that the presence of international students can create a wealth of authentic opportunities for cultural engagement and enrichment. "In today's globalized economy, educational and social interaction with students from around the world can provide Gardner- Webb students with real world academic and career benefi ts," Brinson affi rmed. "Living and learning side-by-side with students from around the world helps all of us learn to avoid stereotyping and form more informed opinions. It gives us a better understanding of international issues and provides new opportunities for unique cross-cultural experiences." Coordinator of International Student Services Tina Earls enjoys getting to know the students and helping them adapt to campus life. She also serves as Gardner-Webb's Principal Designated School Offi cial (PDSO), responsible for managing government compliance of student Visas. "When an international student comes in, we strive to encourage them throughout their education levels and as they become alumni," she shared. "They are appreciative of all we do, and they are happy here. Gardner-Webb is not new to the international market nor to the global competition of international recruitment and continues to provide quality academics and social experiences. Most non-athletes choose GWU by word-of-mouth recommendations from a church or missions fi eld or former or current students." *Data refl ects reported numbers as of Aug. 10, 2022. GWU sets new record with number of global students Article Provided By: Jean Gordon The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina (CFWNC) approved scholarships totaling $516,250 to 90 WNC students in 57 schools in 21 counties. More than 60 volunteers from the community worked to review applications and select recipients. Kaleb Adair of East Rutherford High School and William Randlett of Chase High School were awarded. Scholarship endowments can have broad eligibility criteria or can be focused on a particular school or county, offered to students pursuing a degree in a stated fi eld or available to those who will attend a designated college or university. "It's an absolute highlight of my year to be able to interview these gifted, amazing students, and to know the scholarships through CFWNC are helping them meet challenges ahead and attain successful futures," said Diane Hagenbuch, scholarship committee member. "The members of our committee work well together to select the student we feel best represents the qualifi cations outlined, which is not easy given the considerable talent of the students. At the end of the process, we all feel confi dent that these students are going to be exceptional leaders in the future." CFWNC works with families, businesses and nonprofi ts to strengthen communities through the creation of charitable funds and strategic grantmaking. A permanent charitable resource, the Foundation manages over 1,200 funds and facilitated $23.5 million in grants last year bringing total giving to more than $328 million since its founding in 1978.
