Adjusting to a new cultural environment can be exciting and challenging. New international students at the University of Minnesota often have a lot of questions and concerns during their first weeks on campus. The International Buddy Program (IBP) was created to ease the transition, with current U.S. and international undergraduate students helping new undergraduate students. Current UMN students volunteer to assist the new international students in their transition to the University of Minnesota throughout the summer, fall, and spring.

There is a new exhibit at the Minnesota History Center called "Underwear: A Brief History" on view May 7 - Sept. 11. The exhibit features 50-75 undergarments and advertisements from the Munsingwear Inc. collection at the Minnesota Historical Society. Items on display include the union suit, women's undergarments made by Vassarette and men's briefs with the "kangaroo pouch."
This exhibit speaks well to innovation in fabric construction, print design and sewing techniques (and also advertising). In addition this year's RetroRama fashion show and cocktail party is serving as the exhibit opening on May 12.
*Please note students with ID get discounted admission at the History Center (and admission is Free Tuesday evenings from 5 to 8 p.m.)
