The Intensive Week of Dutch language and culture and its follow-up courses for anyone staying at the university for two years or more are a great success. Furthermore, several English publications have been issued, such as the 'Welcome to the University of Twente' booklet, the Campus/Union guide and the new edition of the Information Map. (You can pick up a copy of any of these publications at the International Office.)
All faculties have received a booklet on what to do and who to contact when receiving international guests at the UT. And last, but not least, the student organisation S.M.I.T. once again organised its famous Christmas dinner for all international guests. In short, the International Office looks back on a successful year.
The upcoming year will aim to improve the services even more. This will be done by improving our English website, but also by having more personal contacts with you. Our aim is to ensure that you fully enjoy your stay in Twente.
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy 2001. Please do not hesitate to contact the International Office for any questions, suggestions, remarks or wishes you may have.
