International outreach programs are relocating to recently vacated offices in Bailey Hall.
"We've already been expanding," said Matthew Koppe, graduate student and employee in the Latin American studies office. "It's a matter of arranging. It's definitely more enjoyable having more space as opposed to being cramped."
Lyne Tumlinson, outreach coordinator, said one of the artifacts available to teachers is a trunk containing Andean music instruments.
Four of the five international and area studies centers will relocate to Bailey, with a new outreach resource room that all area studies programs will share. The Center for East Asian Studies will move to Bailey in the coming year.

De George, professor of philosophy, isn't the only one on the third floor of Wescoe with moving boxes. Everyone in the departments of Spanish and Portuguese, English and philosophy have packed their belongings so

The movers and carpet layers began work last week and will continue into the second week of July. Their work is part of a three-year project to replace the carpet in all the offices and halls of Wescoe.
