A farewell celebration took place last night in Cauthorn Hall for a group of English-language students from Indonesia who will be leaving OSU on March 7.

They attended full-time classes at the English Language Institute, taking on 19 credit hours during the term. The students partnered up with American students to help them with their English.

"This was the first real winter I ever had. I never felt it before. The students were very friendly, and I enjoyed it here. It was a great experience," said Aidil Azhar, one of the Indonesian students.

On Wednesday, Governor Irwandi Yusuf of Aceh, Indonesia, and other Aceh delegates were in the Memorial Union at Oregon State University as part of a two-week trip across the United States to network with businesses and agencies. For Irwandi, the Corvallis stop was something more, though. He received his master’s degree in veterinary science from OSU in 1993.
