[Studyabroadadvise] Sweet Briar College Junior Year in France

[mscouten]

Dear colleagues and friends,

      I  returned from Paris on Tuesday, September 12  where I worked 
closely with the SBC JYF 2006-07
group in Tours and in Paris.  The group arrived on August 25 in Tours 
and September 8 in
Paris.  This is another excellent group of students.  It is such fun to 
finally meet the applicants.
  Thank you for advising them so well and for your continued support of 
the JYF program.

   I am pleased to announce that Sweet Briar College recently hired Ms. 
Jill GAVITT  as  Assistant Director of Admissions, Special Program 
Recruitment. 
She will visit several colleges and universities during the Study Abroad 
Fairs schedule  to help recruit for Junior Year in France and Junior 
Year in Spain
programs.  Although, I would like to visit each and every college 
myself, I find that this is impossible.  I will continue to visit 
several  each year but will
try to visit colleges which I have not yet had the opportunity to visit 
in the past. 
    Ms. Gavitt is a Sweet Briar College alumna who majored in Spanish. 
She was a participant in the SBC JYS program for one semester and also 
worked on
the JET program in Japan.  She has excellent  international experience 
and has been teaching Spanish for the past few years.
She recently spent last week  with me in Paris and Tours to observe the 
JYF program and interview current participants.  I am confident  that 
Ms. Gavitt
will represent both programs well.  I hope that you will find time to 
introduce yourselves to Jill during her visit to your college.

    Hopefully, I will see many of you at the Region VIII NAFSA meeting 
in November.

Sincerely,

Margaret Scouten
Director, JYF
