Dr. Appel and the Education Abroad Program

Dr. Irwin Appel is someone who has been involved in the Theater and Dance department at UCSB. During his presentation at our INT 95 lecture, he presented a lot of information about the department, and how to get involved. Though I have had many friends in theather, the only experience I ever have with theater was being a narrator for a play in the third grade. However, I have heard many good things about theater, and may have to check out the program.
Secondly, my class and I checked out the EAP (Education Abroad Program) building this last week, and we learned a tremendous amount about traveling abroad for school. This is a program that I am very interested in, and would love to participate during my junior year. Although I would love to travel to Germany or any Spanish speaking countries as I am familiar with both languages, I would like to travel to an area that is less frequented, in order to hopefully prepare myself to eventually join the peace corps. In the EAP building, we learned a lot about the necessary prerequisites (or lack thereof) for visiting various nations, and the multiple different ways that you can stay in those areas--for example, staying for a quarter, a year, or doing a complete integration program, which I think is very cool! I look forward to preparing for embarking on an education abroad program.
