Introduction
The proposal specifies links to solution as per the identified problem. The causative agent
of such being disinterest among students. This is correlated to low turn-ups in the organized
events as well as programs. The core principle in negating changing here has been inclined to
effective communication which seems to the bridge lacking for all other factors to fall in play.
As such, solutions are categorized in forms of direct contact to students, advertising on Google
and proper usage of social media. As such, International House Davis must embrace new
dimensions of work if it is to see a consistent positive feedback in its endeavors in as much as it
will cost it manpower, longevity, time and monetary resources1.
Problem
A reflection of the interview we had with Shermin showed that the organization had
managed to organize numerous events with more significance being relayed in the International
Festival1. The attendance of this event is expected to be high with ranges of between 3,000 and
5,000 people. This event is usually characterized by celebration of different cultures all over the
world as much as it serves as an opportunity for raising funds. This is achieved by the sale of
table spaces to diverse organizations as well as food vendors. It is in this even that the
International House Davis makes the move to larger donors who give $5,000 – $10,000.
However, other events organized by the organization seem to be merely attended. The main issue
was considered to be students having little to no interest towards the events and the fundraising
process. This would therefore translate to their low perception of International House Davis 1.

Several failed actions with the purpose or revolutionizing this position to students is
another problem that could be briefed in the following dimensions. International House Davis
has tried to work hand in hand with the SSIS (UC Davis Services for International Students and
Scholars) but this has yielded little direct interaction among the students and the organization1.
Privacy reasons came as a challenge that stopped the process of personal contact to international
students as well as community members that could be easily retrieved from SSIS. The
organization has also implemented a $20 per year membership for students with benefits ranging
in between the many events and programs that it organizes but no positive feedback has been
forthcoming. Efforts on participating in international film series has also received the same
response despite the students being close to location where it is being held1.
The provision of free language classes is problem that has its pros and cons in real life. It
has been proven that learning a new language initiates brain growth as scientific evidence shows
that language centers in our brains grow due to successful language learning. It has also been
shown that being bilingual delays susceptibility of an individuals to suffer from Alzheimer’s
disease for at least three years. The effect as pertains to dementia with regards to learning new
languages has a greater positive impact as compared to the latest drugs. Having to learn more
languages initiates improved listening skills as the brain tends to be a hard worker so as to be
able to differentiate morphological aspects in different languages2.
Learning more languages as a problem dictates that individuals are in a position to easily
multi-task as compared to those that have lesser languages. This kind of cognitive flexibility also
finds such individuals having higher capabilities of adapting in unexpected

circumstances. It has been shown that getting to learn one more language dictates an increased
sense of attention and control of the brain as the individual has more potential to limit
distractions. New languages also change perspectives of how people perceive things3. A typical
example is that of learning Japanese that has fundamental terms for light and dark blue unlike in
English and other languages. This helps one to perceive colors in a whole different dimension.
Learning new languages draws significant attention to the morphological, phonological,
morphemical and phenomical rules of the language(s) one already knows. This would therefore
make the individual better in former languages as they will better understand the stated variations
and their different applications in other languages3.
Using language as the door to new culture could be a problem. However, it gives the
learner an opportunity to immerse him/herself into this new perspective. Many people realize
today that having an extra language proves as a skill set in the global job market2. This is
because it not only enables the language bearers to secure international jobs but also plays a role
in the international business community. Fluency in a second language has indicated expectancy
of increased pay by 10% -15%. Besides these aspects being relayed to student as a means of
attracting them, there are other contemporary ways that can be coupled to this effort3. This may
include free entrance or admission test, increased access to extra-curricular activities,
scholarships to students that perform well, provision of better campus environment and other indoor facilities such as free 24 hours Wi-Fi, sports stadium, around the clock library services and
free access to the gym.
Conclusively, the introduction of such diversity in language as well as dancing and fitness

classes should be well known to students who have to bring them into practicality; it the
organization must take a new turn and bring new dimension into these circles4. Defined
classes should be laid out to them on specific dance styles. Some of which should be considered
may include ballet that is performed in the context of classical music. It has a strong focus on
strength, flexibility as well as technique. There is also the advent of ballroom dancing that
involves several partner dancing styles. These may include waltz, tango, swing and rumba not
forgetting foxtrot. Belly dancing that originates from the Middle East and is coupled with
exercise must also not be left behind4. Hip-hop dancing involving braking, free styling and
popping as well as locking is accommodative of the current generation. It is important for it to
be included in the new mechanism4
