A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SU ABROAD Dear student, Welcome to Syracuse University Abroad! Students have told us that nothing is more special during their college years than studying abroad for a summer, semester, or year. You will begin by seeing and judging everything by the values with which you have grown up. You’ll return with a different set of values: a blend of who you were and the international person you have become. Studying abroad means laughing at yourself sometimes. Along with its challenges, you’ll also find that the flexibility and courage you demonstrate will provide lasting rewards. Professionally and personally, you will become a true citizen of the world. We have designed this Preparing to Go booklet to help you prepare for study abroad. It is a country-specific supplement to the information for accepted students on our website, suabroad.syr.edu. Please refer to the website for important information about SU Abroad policies and procedures. Your parents will receive their own copy so they know what’s going on as you prepare to go and after you arrive abroad. We are very pleased you have chosen SU Abroad. Our overseas directors and partners across the globe look forward to welcoming you soon to your host country. Sincerely, Jon V. C. Booth Executive director Preparing to Go: Strasbourg – Fall 2011 2
