The program aims to introduce Wake Forest's very urbane international
students to rural North Carolina residents through interactions
at rural churches. An April 2003 questionnaire emailed to 89 graduating
international students posed the question, "Is there anything
that you regret about the time that you spent at Wake Forest?"
Out of 54 respondents, 17 said that they felt that they were leaving
Winston-Salem without having had a chance to interact with the "real
America." Project activities will enable them to interact on
a personal level with a wide spectrum of age groups in small rural
churches, which were chosen as secular vehicles for greater integration
and understanding and not a venue for proselytizing. Our international
students are expected to gain a new understanding of the cultural,
religious, and geographical factors that shape rural North Carolina,
while local participants will replace demographic stereotypes with
names, faces, and experience.

State
Wake Forest is one of two US universities selected to host
a 2004 Southeastern Europe Youth Leadership Institute, involving
an international staff and guests from Albania, Bulgaria, Kosovo,
Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia. Along with 13 community
leaders and teachers representing the 6 countries, 60 high school
students, ranging in age from 15 to 17, will spend the month
of July on the Wake Forest campus, including 2 weeks with volunteer
families in the Winston-Salem area. Workshops and cultural activities
are designed to explore US politics and culture and to promote
interactions among the students and their hosts, with debate
used as a vehicle for exploring civic issues. The grant from
the Open Society Institute in New York and the US State Department
will be administered by Wake debate director and Associate Professor
of Communication Allan Louden and Pia Wood, Director of International
Studies and Professor of Political Science. Summer administration
will be coordinated by Kristen McCauliff, Wake assistant debate
coach.
