International Opportunities Fair - A Rousing Success
Over 600 Yale students packed the Lanman Center during the two hour fair.  As always, the program and university reps were impressed by the Yalies who attended last Friday's International Opportunities Fair.  The reps with whom I spoke throughout the afternoon were pleased to see so much interest in study abroad - and were impressed by the thoughtful questions asked by all who visited their tables.
If you want to talk with an adviser about the programs you found, and the study abroad process at Yale, please give the study abroad office a call at 543-8684 (or 432-8685) a call to schedule an appointment (or come to Susan's walk-ins tomorrow - Thursday - from 10am-2pm here at 55 Whitney Ave., 3rd Floor).
