Boise State Will Feature First-Ever Student Study Abroad Fair Today

---

Boise State�s International Programs will present the university�s first study abroad fair today. Representatives from 20 different study abroad programs from throughout the U.S. will be on hand to discuss options with students. Financial aid advisers and students who have studied abroad will also be available.      Students from any discipline can study abroad, from engineering to English. International Programs Director Sabine Klahr said students gain a unique international perspective on world issues when they study abroad, which is often useful when they leave college and enter the business world.      Common misconceptions about studying abroad is that it is too expensive, that students must have a high grade point average to qualify, or that they must speak a second language, Klahr said. However, the study programs can be very affordable, students with a 2.5 GPA can participate and most are offered in both English and a country�s native language.      The fair runs from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Jordan Ballroom on the second floor of the Student Union. For more information, call Corrine Henke in International Programs at 426-3652. Media Contact Sherry Squires communications and marketing 426-3275
