Were there many folks from developing countries in the orientation? In my orientation (at an American university), there was a huge emphasis on "you might be used to plagiarism back home, but please take it seriously".

Some students from developing countries, yes. And I'm sure that admonition was largely aimed at them. IIRC most of the room looked European.

Yeah, this is a problem my university runs into too -- international students are around 20% of the undergraduate population but consistently around 50% of the cases of academic dishonesty. :-(
