Abroad - Part I<br>
</b></font></div>
<font size=3>UCS made the rounds of the tables at the Corporate Career
Fair the other week, and asked the employers their thoughts on study
abroad, and about job applicants who studied abroad while at
university. Over the next few E-News editions, I will share with
you some of the quotes ... <br>
<i>"It's a big plus. Lots of people prefer them."
</i>(Cornerstone Research)<br><br>
<i>"If I were to change one thing in my Yale experience, it would
have been to study abroad." </i>(Archstone Consulting)<br><br>
<i>"We definitely pay more attention to it."</i> (Mercer
Management)<br><br>

& Cambridge Study Abroad Applications<br>
</b></font></div>
<font size=3>Attention Sophomores -- now is the time to start planning
for an Oxford or Cambridge study abroad experience during the 2006-07
academic year. Application deadlines for these two universities are
much earlier than for other study abroad programs and universities.
We recommend that you apply no later than mid-December for the full-year
2006-07 admission, and no later than the end of January for a spring 2007
admission. Read <i>The Undergraduate Guide to Study Abroad at
Oxford and Cambridge Universities </i>at

<font size=3>Rumours have reached my ears that some students still think
they cannot apply for spring JTA until they have had an acceptance from
their chosen study abroad program/university. This is most
definitely</font><font size=3 color="#FF0000"><i> not the case
