A&T students who have been toying with notions of spending a summer or semester studying abroad will have an opportunity to pick up some new ideas to bounce around at the University’s Study Abroad Fair on Wednesday, Sept. 2, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Stallings Ballroom at the Memorial Student Union building.
The SAES has three international programs that will be highlighted at the Study Abroad Fair:
• The Peace Corps Master’s International Program , which is now accepting applications —combines graduate school with Peace Corps service to give students a resume that includes both a master’s degree and two years of work experience in international development.
• Dr. Terrence Thomas has openings to send two more students to Ege University in Turkey next fall as part of an exchange program made possible by a USDA grant.
• Dr. Anthony Yeboah and John Paul Owens of the Dept. of Agribusiness, Applied Economics and Agriscience Education are project co-directors for a Capacity Building Grant that is providing SAES students with scholarships for study abroad. The grant also provides funding to help defray the costs of airfare, passports, visas, vaccinations, health insurance, and other costs associated with international travel. Applications are now being accepted from SAES students who would like to apply for study abroad scholarships for spring and summer of 2010.
