"Welcome!  As the student coordinators for International Orientation 2013, we are so excited for you to come to Taylor University and can’t wait to meet you.  We are already preparing for your time here and anticipate getting to know you at International Orientation and during your time at Taylor.  We will be praying for your safe arrival and for God’s provision as you prepare to make the transition to college.  We know we are blessed to be a part of your transition to Taylor and are excited to see how you will bless the Taylor community over the next couple of years.  We look forward to seeing you soon!"
