I am writing to inform you of the upcoming Baruch College Spring Semester Study Abroad Fair. The Spring Semester Fair will be held on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 from 12:00 noon to 2:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room (1-107) on the ground floor of the William and Anita Newman Vertical Campus. Someone from the Study Abroad Office will be bringing flyers for the fair by departmental offices, and I would be very grateful if one or more of them could be posted. I would like to warmly invite you and the other members of the department to come to the fair, and I would be grateful if you could encourage your students, and the students of your colleagues, to do the same.
Well over three hundred students attended the Study Abroad Fair last spring. These fairs offer a wonderful opportunity for program providers to speak to Baruch students about the study abroad programs available to our students. This year, exchange students from our partner universities who are studying at Baruch this term will be staffing tables to give Baruch students even more authoritative information about campus life abroad. The Study Abroad Fair also gives Baruch faculty members the chance to learn more about the programs our students attend. Understanding the kinds of academic and cultural experiences our students have abroad will help you gain a better sense of how study abroad might be more thoroughly integrated into a student’s overall college career.
If you have any questions regarding the details of the fair, please contact Nathaly Martinez, Study Abroad Coordinator by phone at (646) 312-2090, or via email at nathaly.martinez@baruch.cuny.edu.
We look forward to seeing you at the fair.
With all good wishes,
Richard
