| A Study Abroad Fair will be held Wednesday, Sept. 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the atrium of Dane Smith Hall on the University of New Mexico campus. The fair features information and displays about study abroad opportunities in every region of the world for UNM students. The UNM Office of International Programs and Studies and the Latin American and Iberian Institute sponsor the fair. UNM study abroad advisors will be on hand to talk with students about the international exchange program, which allows UNM students to study at more than 75 top universities in 25 different countries. UNM departments, including Spanish & Portuguese, Honors Program, Art & Art History, Health Sciences Center and the Latin American & Iberian Institute, will provide information about special summer programs and short-term international study opportunities. UNM students can learn about other opportunities, including those offered through other New Mexico institutions, now open to UNM students through a special statewide agreement. Study abroad scholarship information will be available, including the Fulbright Program, Gilman, Freeman-Asia, National Security Education Program, the brand new UNM Ambassadors scholarship and other financial aid resources.
