St. Paul's Chapel and University Center in Iowa City

A Welcome Dinner was held at St Paul's Lutheran Chapel for both American and International students on Monday, August 22nd. We had quite a crowd, and enjoyed mixing and mingling with new and returning students, International Student Ministry volunteers and members of the St Paul's congregation. Please note that we had TONS of watermelon! Nearly all of the new international students and scholars that came to the Welcome Dinner signed up for English conversation classes and partners. A great evening!
