TGIF – Thank God It’s Friday – is a weekly social hour with informal conversational

games and snacks. All students are invited. Please join us in Building 11, Room 208 at

noon on Fridays.

Star of the Week:Star of the Week:

Sawyer, a 19-year-old American student studying Pre-Med at

LCC, leads TGIF.

Favorite Food: razza piedmontese

Hobbies & Interests: swimming, running, mountain (alpine) climbing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, cooking, photog-

raphy, camping, backpacking, skiing, playing guitar

Dream Vacation: 23 days on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon

Abroad Experiences: I was an au pair (professional nanny) in Germany in a small town called Walkersbach near Stuttgart.

I was basically adopted into a German family for a year, which I spent learning German, taking care of the family’s children,

expanding my cooking knowledge to include traditional German and Italian cuisine, training with the track & field team and

swim team, and traveling to England, France, Italy and Austria. I also met an Olympic triathlete who competed in the 2012

summer Olympics in London. Thanks to my host family’s influence, I solidified my career goals and decided that I wanted to

become a Physical Therapist, which is what I’m working towards now.

What He Likes About Eugene: I’ve only been in Eugene for 3 months, but so far I like the eccentric vibe, Vero Espresso

House (absolutely perfect), and the outdoor climbing, running and hiking opportunities.

What He Likes About LCC: my teachers who are fun to work with and engaging.

What He Likes About TGIF: So many things…it gets me involved with all the international students. I feel like I can

totally relate having been abroad myself and I LOVE working with them!

Lane Policies & Deadlines Immigration Update

I-20 Pick Up Reminder

If you transferred to Lane this term from another

U.S. school, your I-20 is ready for pick up! Come

and get it in Building 11, Room 235. J

I-20 Etiquette

-Always keep your I-20 in a safe place. If you need

your passport or I-20 for ID or other purposes,

make a copy of the original to carry with you and

leave the original at home.

-Don’t let your I-20 expire! Check the expiration

date on your I-20.

-Keep a record of all of your I-20’s, even ones that

have expired from previous schools you have at-

tended. The reason for this is so that USCIS

(immigration) can see a record of your F-1 status.

OPT Advising

Graduating from Lane at the end of Fall 2012 or

sometime this year? If so, you have the opportunity

to apply for a year-long paid internship through Op-

tional Practical Training (OPT). Students must ap-

ply for OPT authorization between 90 days before

graduation and 60 days after graduation. If you’re

interested or have questions, please make an ap-

pointment to see Colby Sheldon in the International

Programs office.
