The Battalion
Program brings world cultures to classroom
BY JOE SCHUMACHER
The Battalion
Students from Texas A&M will
have the chance to introduce inter
national cultures to schools in the
Bryan-College Station area through
the International Education Out
reach program.
The IEO program, developed by
the MSC L.T. Jordan Institute for In
ternational Awareness and the In
ternational Student Association, will
bring a group of A&M students,
called the Alcoa Fellows for Inter
national Awareness, to schools in
the area. The goal is to expose
school-age children to international
cultures. The Alcoa Fellows will dis
cuss a broad range of topics such as
geography, language, traditional
dress and food. The IEO program
will start visiting schools in the
spring semester.
Luke J. Altendorf, director of the
Jordan Institute, said the program
will allow students in local schools
to become familiar with the inter
national cultures in the area.
“[The IEO program] will give K-
12 students an opportunity to meet
international students and talk
with them about their cultures,”
Altendorf said.
Whitney Hall, director of the IEO
program and a senior psychology
major, said the Jordan Institute and
ISA have been coordinating the pro
gram. She said the Jordan Institute
handles the administrative part,
while ISA supplies the personnel.
Hall said the planning for the
program began last December. She
said international students have
visited schools sporadically to dis
cuss their cultures, and the presen
tations have been well received.
The IEO program is a formalized
version of these original presenta
tions that allows teachers to find
speakers that correlate vyith their
lesson plans.
Norberto Chaclin, chair of com
munity outreach committee for ISA,
said although planning began for
IEO a year ago, violence in the
Northgate area has fueled interest
and support for this project. He said

children need to be taught early in
life there are many different cultures
in the world and to respect them.
“Instead of talking to students
labout other cultures] when they
are freshmen in college, why not
talk to them when they are in they
are in the fifth grade,” Chaclin said.
Altendorf said the Alcoa Fellows
are unique because the group con
sists of both international students
who speak about their native coun
tries, and U.S.-born students who
serve as facilitators.
Alcoa Fellows participate in train
ing to prepare them for work as a fa
cilitator or speaker, and they also
learn how to present information to
different age groups. There will be
training sessions at the beginning of
next semester for students interested
in becoming an Alcoa Fellow.
Chaclin said there is a lot of sup
port on the campus and in the com
munity, and he plans to be busy
working on this project.
“I think this is going to be bigger
than 1 anticipated,” Chaclin said.
“We are going to need a lot of help.”
