Employers on Study Abroad - Part I
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 ...
"It's a big plus.  Lots of people prefer them." (Cornerstone Research)

"If I were to change one thing in my Yale experience, it would have been to 
study abroad." (Archstone Consulting)

"We definitely pay more attention to it." (Mercer Management)

2006-07 Oxford & Cambridge Study Abroad Applications
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 
The Undergraduate Guide to Study Abroad at Oxford and Cambridge 
Universities at http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/oxbridge.html.  Links 
to Oxford and Cambridge can be found on the Regions/Europe page of the 
study abroad web site.

DEADLINE:  Spring Junior Term Abroad Applications
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 not the case as 
many of you will not hear back from your program(s) before our 
deadline.  Whether you have received an acceptance from a program, nor not, 
you must submit your Yale Junior Term Abroad application by our internal 
deadline:  4pm, Friday, October 14 (next Friday!).

International Opportunities Fair -- A Rousing Success
As always,  the program reps who attended last Friday's International 
Opportunities Fair pleased to see so much interest in study abroad - and 
were impressed with the thoughtful questions asked by all who visited their 
tables.  The final attendance tally showed that 750 (!) Yale students 
packed the Lanman Center during the two hour fair!
