Description
While the numbers of students studying
abroad are increasing, science/engineering/
premedical majors still lag behind due to
barriers including delayed graduation, course
equivalents, and disadvantages when applying
to graduate school. This session will give
administrators an "advocacy toolkit" to effect
change among the upper administration of
their campuses. Thread 5
