PACIFIC ORIENTATION

For all Pacific 2010 Participants.

November 17, 7:30, Instructional Center Rm. 117

(This is a required meeting for participation in the program.)

At the meeting, we will cover specific information about preparing for travel, logistical details of the program and will also spend some time getting to know each other!

MANDATORY OIE PART TWO PREP MEETING (IN ADDITION TO MEETING DIRECTLY ABOVE):

OIE requires all Spring Study Abroad students to attend their PART TWO PREP meeting. This meeting does not cover topics that are specific to any one program (that will be at your Pacific Orientation two nights before); rather, it covers topics that are relevant for all participants. Some of the topics are:

     * Cross-cultural adjustment
     * Clearing customs
     * Health matters
     * How violations of the conduct code are handled abroad
     * Safety
     * Packing
     * Phoning home
     * Money matters
     * Using financial aid for study abroad

This meeting will be held November 19, 5 pm in the Student Center Theater. Send any questions regarding this meeting to lorie.paulez@oie.gatech.edu.

Get GT Credit for Studying in New Zealand and Australia!

The Pacific Program offers students a truly unique learning opportunity – spend three months exploring the land down under! When it’s summer in the southern hemisphere, our students will spend six weeks in both Australia and New Zealand. Students will take four classes, attend lectures, visit cultural and historical sites, and learn about the people and places on the other side of the world. Who knows what you can discover while studying in beautiful Oceania!
