SC forum to discuss abroad programs
The Student Confederation will hold three forums throughout March; one on March 1 about the AU Abroad Program, a Public Safety Forum in mid-March with Acting Public Safety Director Mike McNair and a forum about summer internships at the end of March.
Robert Pastor, AU vice president for International Affairs, will run the AU Abroad forum on Monday, March 1, according to Mark Meadows, chief of staff for the Student Confederation.
The forum will be designed to allow students to have enough time to make a responsible, informed choice about going abroad, as the deadline is April 1.
The event will start sometime between 8:15 and 8:30 p.m., SC President Nick Terzulli said, and will most likely be in the Anderson or Letts Hall Formal Lounge, although nothing is confirmed at this time.
More information about future forums will be announced after the March 1 event, Meadows said.
