Shopping Period Info for Students Considering Study Abroad
Keep studying your language!  If you started a language and have met 
the L3 requirement, don't stop.  Keep taking the language so that you 
complete at least L4 level before studying abroad in a French, 
Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Portuguese speaking country -- you 
will need to have completed a intermediate level for Yale's 
requirement, and some programs/location require that you have 
completed an L5 or L6 level class.  Info on Yale's language policy 
for the Year or Term Abroad Program can be found at 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/faq.html?mm=1#language

The 2008 International Summer Award Site is Up and Running
Looking for funding for your summer abroad?  Check out the 2008 
International Summer Award web site 
http://www.yale.edu/isa/index.html.  ISA-SIC Plus funding can be used 
for summer study abroad (Yale Summer Session Abroad, Yale-in-London 
summer program, and a list of designated non-Yale study abroad 
programs), and UCS Bulldogs Internships, while ISA-SIC can be used to 
cover your student income contribution if you win a Yale fellowship 
for a summer abroad activity.
See the web site for details, and if you have additional questions, 
schedule an appointment to meet with someone in one of the 
coordinating offices.

Meet with a Study Abroad Advisor/Talk to a Peer Advisor
If you want to explore your options abroad -- for academic year 
and/or for summer -- make sure to schedule an appointment to meet 
with an advisor in IEFP.  We offer walk-in hours as well as scheduled 
appointments.  Give Pam a call at 432-8684 and she will schedule a 
time for you to meet with an advisor (we don't schedule appointments 
by email, so please call!).  If you want to get the student 
perspective on study abroad, check out the peer list on the study 
abroad web site http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/peer_region.htm. 
We'll be adding new names to the list as we get the okay from the 
fall study abroad students, so make sure you check the list again in 
a week or so.
