To someone walking through the
MSC Tuesday, it might have seemed
like just another day, but to those
students who paid attention to the
display tables in the main hall, it was
an opportunity to tempt curiosities
and world interests. And the stu
dents who took advantage of the op-
portunites may find themselves in a
foreign country within the next year.
Tuesday was Overseas Day, spon
sored by the Study Abroad Office at
Texas A&M. Representatives of the
program offered information to
anyone interested in traveling over
seas for credit or work programs.
Mona Rizk-Finne, director of the
study abroad office, said the pur
pose of the event was to recruit stu
dents for upcoming summer courses
offered overseas and to familiarize
students with the many study abroad
opportunities offered at A&M.
Rizk-Finne said the study abroad
office this year offers 12 programs,
including six-week summer courses,
full semseter courses and yearlong
courses throughout the world. Stu
dents have options to go through
A&M and other American schools to
travel and spend time in other coun
tries and get credits that fit their de
gree plans at the same time.
The mission of the office, Rizk-
Finne said, is to provide students in
all fields of study a wide range of ed
ucational experiences abroad.
A&M has affiliations with several
universities overseas, such as Tu
bingen University in Southern Ger
many and the University of Copen
hagen in Denmark.
Students can completely immerse
themselves in foreign cultures by
spending whole semesters at a for
eign university, or they can go over
seas on a shorter program taught by
A&M professors.

fessor in the Department of Speech
Communications and Theater Arts,

teaching a theater arts and civiliza
tion class to a group of Aggies. She,

teachers, stayed at La Po
along with 23 students and two other grams, but there still seems to
teacners, stayed at La Loggerina, lo
cated 30 minutes south of Florence.
The study abroad program, she
said, provides an opportunity for
students to meet humanities require
ments in a fun way. She said the stu
dents became close because they
spent so much time together in the
classes and learning about Italy.
“We took a survey of the students
at the end of the summer,” she said,
“and most of them felt like they had
seen the stars for the first time. We
all became very close and we’re mak
ing efforts to get together now that
we’re back at A&M.”
Rizk-Finne said that last year
more than 400 A&M students went
overseas through the office’s p
ro-
e a
lack of awareness of the opportuni
ties the office offers.
The office provides almost any
kind of information to anyone inter
ested in going abroad, she said.
“We have quite an extensive re
source library and we have informa
tion on criteria for the programs, fi
nancial aid and the kinds of credits
that can be transferred,” she said.
“We can coordinate students and
show them all sorts of options to go
places.”
Rick Lockett, a senior majoring in
German history and literature, re
cently returned from Germany
where he studied at the Universitat
Tubingen for a year through the
study abroad office. He said he, as
an American, experienced life as any
German, student would.
“The education for American stu
dents abroad is the best you can
achieve,” Lockett said.
Rizk-F'inne said Lockett returned
from his year in Germany a totally
different person. The worldly
knowledge a student gains by spend
ing time in other countries is more
than what can be taught on any cam
pus in the United States, she said.
Lockett said most students think
traveling overseas for classes is out
of reach financially, but that is a mis
conception, he said.
“No matter where you are, you’ll
have to pay for food and rent,” he
said. “The only thing extra you pay
is the travel expense, and by the time
you’ve experienced being overseas,
it will all pay off.”
