Study Abroad Fair sees increase in participation Study Abroad Fair sees increase in participation

Ann Burger reports that our study abroad fair had great attendance last week. Thank you to all who helped at the fair or sent students our way. There were 20 tables with information regarding study abroad programs, including our exchange partner universities, faculty-led programs, various departments and others.

Eighty-six students checked in at the general information table, an increase of more than 30 percent from last fall. This does not include many other students who went directly to other tables/displays and may not have checked in at our general table.

Based on those who checked in, students from a variety of different majors attended.

Overall we had a very successful fair and look forward to working with all of the students to set up study abroad programs in the near future.

The $500 study abroad scholarship was awarded to Jennifer Huynh, a general business major.

We appreciate all of the support from staff and faculty in order to help grow our study abroad program.
