Sponsored Student Luncheon
The Sponsored Student Programs had a
Sponsored Student Luncheon on January 8,
2008 for all the new incoming sponsored

chance to meet the SSP staff and meet other
new students from different countries. We
would like to welcome the new sponsored
students with a big "HOWDY."
