To meet growing demands for students to enrich their Penn State education with international dimensions, the University Office of Global Programs relies on the philanthropy of alumni and friends to support rising costs.

Philanthropic support for internationalization serves as a powerful catalyst to transform our students into knowledgeable, understanding, and responsible citizens of the larger world community

• by offering them opportunities to engage in study abroad;
• by bringing international students and faculty to campus and making them an integral part of the University community; and
• by increasing international exposure in all fields of study.

Contributions to programs and scholarships for Global Programs, International Student Services, and Education Abroad greatly enhance the Penn State experience and prepare students to live and work in a global economy. You can make a difference. If you are interested in giving opportunities, contact Daniel J. Genard III at dgenard@psu.edu or 814-865-7594 or visit www.giveto.psu.edu.

Penn State Education Abroad Alumni Program Group

Study abroad alums should consider joining the Penn State Education Abroad Alumni Group. This recently-formed group has five broad goals:

1. To offer mentoring opportunities for those students and/or their families who would like to learn about the study-abroad experience from someone who has done it, and to provide students an easy way to ask questions and get advice.
2. To raise scholarship money so that today's students can have the extraordinary study-abroad experiences that EAAG members did.
3. To encourage networking among study-abroad alumni so EAAG members can continue their own professional and personal growth.
4. To plan occasional social events for study-abroad alumni.
5. To promote student interest in education abroad through various awareness efforts.

For information about the Alumni Program Group, visit the EAAG Web site: www.psueaag.com, or e-mail EdAbroadAlums@ip.psu.edu.
