Education Abroad opportunities through UK

While many of UK's programs are oriented for undergraduate education abroad, some 
include opportunities for graduate students, including scholarships to help with
expenses for education and internships abroad.  The following is from Tony Ogden,
UK's Director of Education Abroad and EPE adjunct professor:
 
 
During this second half of the semester, we'd like to make a final push to students
about 2013 summer and fall semester Education
Abroad<http://www.uky.edu/educationabroad/> programs.   UK offers a wide array of
high-quality, academic programs that are still accepting applications, but students
will need to act quickly.


1.       UK offers Study Abroad, Research Abroad, Intern Abroad, Teach Abroad and
Service Abroad programs.  There really is a program for everyone and all programs
are credit-bearing.

2.       Students can enroll in discipline-specific faculty-directed programs,
affordable exchange programs, and an array of other programs this summer, next fall,
or even for the entire academic year.

3.       Application deadlines vary and many are fast approaching.

4.       There are still many scholarships available for summer, fall and full-year
programs.

Finally, students should be encouraged to attend a First Steps Information
Session<http://www.uky.edu/educationabroad/contact/hours.html>, Mondays & Tuesdays
at 4pm and Wednesdays and Thursdays at 3pm.   Information sessions are held in 207
Bradley Hall.

And please don't forget that our Education Abroad Peer
Advisors<http://www.uky.edu/educationabroad/contact/ambassador.html> are poised and
eager to make brief Classroom Presentations.  To request a classroom presentation,
just schedule it here<https://uky.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9WARPkjPnudeJGA>, and
we'll be there.

Thanks everyone!

- Tony
