Students who want the opportunity to embrace the cultures of France, Germany and Switzerland should seize the chance to go abroad.
The HMS department is hosting an abroad trip from May. 21 through Jun. 3. Students from any major are allowed to participate, including graduates and undergraduates. There is a 25-student minimum, and so far a little less than half have signed up.
For two weeks students can join Chay Runnels, human services instructor; Sheryl Wittenback, hospitality instructor, and Carol Bradley, nutrition instructor to travel to these countries through CEPA (Customized Educational Programs Abroad).
"We'll customize the trip for each student to make sure that they're focused on their area of study," Runnels said. She said CEPA is known for its travel, and it's safe and organized.
Students may receive and submit applications from Runnel's office in the Human Sciences Building. The nonrefundable application fee is $75. Students will also have to get a passport, which would also be $75 plus a $25 execution fee.
Trip sponsors recommend that students have at least $700 for extra spending money. A down payment of $1,000 is due by Dec. 15.
Students can pay for the remainder through installments or all at one time. The installment plan requires the amount of $1,370 by Jan. 23, $1,000 by Feb. 20 and $843.43 by Mar. 13. The total sum for the trip is $3,643.43.
The total has been lowered by $200 because of the currency rate in those countries will allow students to buy more.
The program cost includes round trip airfare, lodging, some meals, planned excursion fees and planned transportation costs in country and health insurance.
If students wish to spend more time in Europe after the end of Maymester, they will be able to do so by contacting Ines Maxit in the Study Abroad office. For general information, students can visit their website, http://www.sfasu.edu/oip/studyabroad/faculty-led.asp.
