Dr. Gale Wagner, coordinator of the International Pro grams Cultural Awai^ness course and a professor of im munology, said the program is designed to send fourth year veterinary-medicine students on externships lasting be tween four and six weeks in other countries. Wagner said 20 students have been sent abroad this year. He said the grant helps fund students’ travel and other expenses. For every A&M student sent abroad, an internation al veterinary student comes to A&M for six weeks of in tensive training. Wagner said the program helps students understand veterinarian medicine in other parts of the world and to find the commonality in vet medicine. He said the pro gram also helps improve the cultural literacy, cultural awareness and language skills of the students itwolved. “It provides the opportunity for vet students to look at how veterinarians practice in another country,” he said. Dr. Isabel Carbajal, International Programs coordi nator, said the program gives students the skills to suc ceed in a global economy. “This program is [intended] to internationalize the classroom.” Carbajal said. Carbajal, who came to A&M in 1995 as a student in the program, said the exchange program has sent stu dents to Latin America. She said it will send students to Canada as well, and some faculty are trying to expand the program to include schools in Europe. iens ba 3Y SANTOSH The The Texas / til [Team retur 7 p.m. in Ree ahjersity of A1 v The Aggie ,eir first gam 3art-breakin^ )-86, at Oral last Saturda Roberts tme winning ie second left i 18p-86 tie. .The Aggies te-game hero liftbn Cook. < ime-tying thn ?cOnds left in ERIC NEWNAMTheBc, Joseph Culver, a sophomore manageir information systems major, sprints across 0:R.
