Exchange program
receives travel grant
BY AMY CURTIS
The Battalion
The Texas A&M University Department of Education
has awarded the College of Veterinary Medicine a
$105,000 grant to help fund the college’s “Animal
Health, Food Safety and Wildlife Consortium,” an in
ternational exchange program.
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.
