Study Abroad Club
Dear students:
Greetings! Guten Tag! Hola!
Konichiwa! Ni Hao! Prøge!
Privyet! Salut!
Greetings from all of the KU Study Abroad Club Officers!
The SAB Club got off to quite a successful start this semester. The purpose of the SAB Club is to promote cultural interaction between KU students and exchange students and to encourage interest in study abroad.
2) Aug. 28 — Study Abroad Returnee/Exchange Student Welcome Reception; SAB Club introductory meeting. Exchange students were matched with American students for the purposes of sharing cultures, language, and general fun.
1) Aug. 24 — Lawrence Garage Sale: SAB Club helped drive our new international exchange students around Lawrence so that they could experience this tradition of good old American bargaining. This was a great success!
With this purpose in mind,this fall the KU SAB Club has planned important and fun activities for our new international exchange students, recent and previous returnees, and all KU students
3) Sept. 3 — Officers were elected during our second general meeting of the semester.
4) October — Halloween fun activities. Come to our meeting on October 8 to find out more!
SAB Club's Future Projects:
5) November-KU-KSU football game and pizza-bowling night.
1) Informal presentations Returnees are encouraged to give presentations about their study abroad experience in informal meetings and to interested student groups. Pictures, slides, videos, and stories can provide much more interesting information than a brochure.
2) International Week—International Fashion Show, Traditional Cuisine Expo, Speakers, work with SUA on planning international films during this week, etc.
3) "International Exchange Student Boxes" — One-year exchange students arrive with only a suitcase and acquire a roomful of stuff by the following May. We keep current exchange students"stuff" like pillows, sheets, pots, pans, and utensils in boxes to be re-distributed to the following year's incoming students.

"I learned more about the poles of good and bad in humans. This trip solidified my belief that there are some really bad people out there, but that they usually get canceled cut by about ten good ones." Jared Walters Pontificia Universidad Ibarranca, Colombia, Spring1996
