JOPLIN, MO (SNS) - A new season of programs for the series Window on the World: A Southern Exposure begins airing in September on KGCS-TV. The programs are designed to focus on the international mission at Missouri Southern State University.

 

In the first program, host Judy Stiles visits with four international students attending MSSU in the fall semester.

 

The students are Zhou yunjun from China, Vincent Marty-Terrain from France, Aya Kato from Japan and Martin Blomkvist from Sweden. Each student is attending Southern through an international exchange agreement. They discuss their experiences and share information on their culture.

 

Window on the World is scheduled to first air at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept.10, with another airing scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12 on KGCS-TV.

 

After the airing of the initial program, international students will take over the hosting and producing of the series. “We’re glad to have this type of interest from the international students on campus,” says Judy Stiles, KGCS General Manager. “They will lend a unique perspective to a program focusing on Missouri Southern’s ties to the rest of the world,” Stiles adds.

 

The involvement of the international students is made possible through the International English Program (IEP) at MSSU.

 

KGCS programs are produced by students in the Department of Communication at MSSU. Programming may be seen on UHF channel 57, Cable One channel 7, and Mediacom channel 77.
