International Education Week: It's a Small World After All It's a Small World After All. That's what the organizations who put up the sign on the courthouse lawn want everyone to know. Barry Loy introduced the sign at the official unveiling Monday November 13th 2017 with these words, "Many do not realize that 100 students from 39 countries attend Lindsey Wilson College. This interaction of cultures enriches Adair County and the students. Mary Anne and I saw a directional sign in Nantucket and we were reminded of the sign on the TV show MASH. We thought this concept would be perfect to showcase the countries represented at LWC. Quoting from a sign that I saw in a church lawn: no matter where you are from, we are glad you are our neighbor." The directional sign on the courthouse lawn, notng each country that one of our students come from, hasn't the following country name and number of miles and killometers. This list only includes miles: Australia 10,000 Bosnia 5,053 Botswana 8,202 Brazil 4,156 Canada 1,636 China 7,354 Columbia 2,352 Czech Republic 4,738 Denmark 4,303 Dominican Republic 2,518 Finland 4,914 France 4,326 Germany 4,501 Ghana 5,570 Haiti 1,479 Italy 4,920 Jamaica 1,399 Japan 6,651 Liberia 5,170 Lithuania 4,819 Mexico 1,650 Netherlands 4,274 Nigeria 6,054 Paraguay 4,531 Peru 3,265 Poland 4,791 Romania 5,250 Senegal 4,568 Siberia 5,182 South Africa 8,386 South Korea 6,969 Spain 4,231 Sweden 4,468 Switzerland 4,559 Trinidad 2,359 Uganda 7,650 United Kingdom 3,861 Venezuela 2,424 Zambia 8,028 The sign unveiling kicked off International Education week at Lindsey Wilson.
