become cheaper
by Rachel Rustin
THRESHEK EDITORIAL STAFF
Under a revised study abroad
program, students will go abroad
only on affiliated programs and stu-
dents participating in direct ex-
changes will receive a travel stipend.
The new plans, part of the Study
Abroad Transition for Expanded
Programming, resulted from an in-
crease in the number of Rice stu-
dents who go abroad.
"When there were fairly few stu-
dents studying abroad, we were able
to spend a lot of time with each of
them individually," Associate Direc-
tor for International Training Shan-
non Cates said. "While we'll still be
spending a lot of time with each
individual student because we think
that's a really important part of the
planning process, what we are try-
ing to do is get students better infor-
mation up front about what programs
are like, what programs offer and
how to choose between them."
'We are going to be
able to give better
advice because we are
no longer going to have
to be responsible for
knowing everything
about every program in
the world. '
— Mark Scheid
Director of International
Programs and Scholarships
Executive Director of Interna-
tional Programs and Scholarships
Mark Scheid said reducing the num-
ber of programs students can attend
will translate to better advice from
the study abroad advisers.
"We are going to be able to give
better advice because we are no
longer going to have to be respon-
sible for knowing everything about
every program in the world," Scheid,
also the assistant to the president,
said. "We can pick two or three hun-
dred and we are not going to have to
decrease the number of places that
students go, and we can know those
two or three hundred really well."
Cates said affiliation will not only
lead to better advice from people in
the study abroad office, but also
many of the programs will offer dis-
counts or scholarships to Rice stu-
dents once the schools are affiliated.
"Because we are going to limit
student participation to the affiliated
programs, affiliation suddenly really
means something, especially to the
outside programs, and they are al-
ready very responsive in terms of
negotiating special terms for Rice
students," Cates said.
When deciding whether to affili-
ate with a program, the study abroad
office will look at both academics
and student services, Cates said.
Students will be able to go
through an appeals process if they
feel none of the affiliated programs
satisfy their needs.
"There are always going to be
new things coming up that we don't
know about yet," Cates said. "Actu-
ally, students do a lot of educating us
about the programs. Some of the
programs that we know best and
have the nlost confidence in were
introduced to us for the first time by
a student using them, so we want to
keep that avenue available."
In addition to changing the way
Rice affiliates with programs, the
office is also going to begin offering
a $600 travel stipend through STEP
to students who participate in direct
international exchange programs.
"We haven't really put a lot of
energy into creating new exchange
relationships because of the hous-
ing crunch we've been having. But
now with Martel opening, we have a
lot more possibilities to really make
use of that kind of relationship,"
Cates said. "We wanted to build a
new incentive for students."
Cates said there are advantages
to direct exchanges for all involved.
The foreign university gets a Rice
student, international undergradu-
ates come to Rice and the arrange-
ment is often cheaper for everyone.
"I think that the financial benefits
are going to make study abroad avail-
able to a wider range of the student
population," Cates said. "It doesn't
sound like much when you are just
talking about switching from unaf-
filiated to affiliated, but it really
means that we have much greater
leverage with programs and I think
that we are going to see a really high
level of interest from programs and
a really high commitment to student
services on their part."
We're lofikin' for a new
opinion editor.
