Welcome to the 147th issue of the International
Student News!
This is the month when we get ready to attend the
NAFSA (Association of International Educators) Annual Conference,
this year being held in Vancouver, Canada, from May 29 to June 3.
The week is always exciting, as we meet with friends and partners
all over the world. As an international student, if you ever get a
chance to go, we highly recommend it, as you will be amazed at the
number and variety of participants in international education.
And for anyone that will be there, please come by
and visit us at either of our two booths - booth 631 and booth 1321.
We would love to see you!

There is one month left to apply for Yale
University’s six-week summer intensive English language courses and
professional seminars (communication, business, and law). The
courses run June 27 - August 5, and are held on Yale’s beautiful
campus in New Haven, Connecticut. Because class sizes are small, on
average 12 students, each student can contribute to the group and
learn from his peers.
The mission of Yale Summer Session is to nurture and
inspire intellectual growth in a community of summer scholars from
various unique cultures and backgrounds. This promotes Yale’s
tradition of academic excellence. While they learn the English
language, summer students share ideas, interests, talents, and
cultures.
Enrollment is limited. Applications due June 6 for
summer 2011.

As you can imagine, we get a lot of questions from students from all
around the world - whether by email, Twitter or Facebook, students
are always asking for our help and advice. One of the most frequent
questions we hear from students is "How can I work in the USA?"
There are a few parts of this question, as students can work while
studying (for limited amounts) and there are also specific programs
setup for those that want to come to the USA for an internship.
As a student in the USA, there are a number of ways you can work in
the USA while still studying - be sure to check out our Working in the USA article which
outlines OPT, CPT and all the other options.
If you want to become an Intern in the USA, there is also the J1 internship program which allows students
to visit the USA as part of an internship program. You can also
search for various intern positions around the world on our job search pages.

International Students Flock to Brazil's MBA
Programs
As Brazil's economy continues to develop at high
speed, business students from around the world look to establish and
cement their ties to Brazil's emerging economy and culture. The Financial
Times online reports that from 2006 to 2010, the percentage
of GMAT scores sent to Brazil's MBA programs by foreign students
more than doubled, from 8.3 percent to 20 percent. Ibmec, a top
Brazilian business school featured in the article, has 600
international students, up from just a handful a few years ago, out
of a total enrollment of 5,000.
