CEA is an organization housed in Europe, Asia and South America as well. The cost of studying abroad with CEA mainly depends on the location, but their summer options are less expensive because they are shorter dates.<\/p>\n
Imani Thomas, a senior biology pre-med major from Atlanta, GA said she was able to obtain a lot from the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter coming to this event, I am relieved because I have been thinking about studying abroad for some time, but I didn\u2019t know there were scholarships available.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas continued, \u201cI am looking forward to working with the Jackson State study abroad office and seeing what scholarships I can get so that I will be able to study abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthew Borlik, the partnership coordinator for CEA, explained the application process for and how students can receive discounted prices and scholarships.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor all of our internships, students have their initial interview with the CEA and we gage their interest and see what kind of skills they wish to develop when they graduate. After that, the student will have an interview with our onsite staff and then an interview with the company the applied for,\u201d said Borlik.<\/p>\n
Students can also take either a semester part time or a full-time summer and the courses will apply to their major.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, The Peace Corps is an international agency who is looking for individuals to invest for 27 months.<\/p>\n
Those who join the Peace Corp will be able to take their degree and work overseas for two years in education or with any other options they would want to do in their career.<\/p>\n
Demarcus Avery, a sophomore political science major from Memphis, Tenn. said,\u201d I have always heard about the Peace Corps and this event helped me get more information about what they do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Avery continued, \u201cAfter talking with the recruiter, I am very interested in working with them because I am unsure of what I can do with my degree and I think they can help me figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peace Corps has six different sectors that help applicants find a program that fits within their degree.<\/p>\n
If students are unable to find a program that correlates with their area of interest, they are still able to leverage their degree by working with the Peace Corps.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a student that is about to graduate reaches that point where they are unsure about what they want to do, this is an awesome opportunity to figure out how to leverage their degree and how to effect a different community,\u201d said Natalie Felton, recruiter for the Peace Corps.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany students take this opportunity to decide what they want to do after they experience this and it also is a great break for two years. Plus, also looks really good on your resume, stated Felton.<\/p>\n
Third party vendors were not the only organizations in attendance scouting students for summer abroad opportunities. University entities like the music department was also there to inform students.<\/p>\n
The music department is offering music appreciation classes for 14 days in China. The program will take place May 8-22, 2022.<\/p>\n
Students will receive six credit hours for music appreciation as well as World Music Culture. The trip is hosted by JSU\u2019s partner university, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, located in Zhenjiang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
