Message from the President Dr. and Mrs. Benz are friends of the international students. They are regulars at every world cafe and many other international students activities . Dr. Benz pausing to speak with a group of international students in his office about their Ashland experience . On behalf of the students, faculty, administration and staff of Ashland University, I am pleased to welcome all of the international students to our campus.
International students play an important role in our mission.
First, you enrich our campus by your presence. You bring to us diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and customs. You help our students become more aware of the richness and diversity that is on this planet and how important both our similarities and our differences are. Second, your time with us also broadens your horizons and exposes you to different ways of thinking, perspectives, traditions and philosophies. It is our strong view that your presence on the Ashland University campus makes possible many opportunities for greater interaction, communication and exchange of ideas.
