Sauer ecent donations to Marymount Manhattan College have increased MMC the study abroad options for students. In October 2004, MMC received a grant from the Andrew RW. Mellon Foundation to support the hiring of a TUDENTS full-time Director of Summer and Study Abroad S Programming. In March, the Stavros S. Niar- chos Foundation provided funding for a two- year program to include a student exchange between MMC and the American College of ROUND Thessaloniki in Greece. It is expected that the A MMC-ACT study abroad program will be in place by the fall semester in 2005. “Study abroad is one of the most life changing experiences a student can have,” THE WORLD says Dr. Marguerita J. Grecco, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. And Dean Grecco should know, as she has worked with countless students to select, organize and plan for their experiences abroad. “They learn a great deal about themselves; they always return and look ‘new.’ I think it is a very essential experience to offer our students.” Marymount Manhattan College has not traditionally operated a study abroad program, referring students instead to apply to other U.S. colleges and universities or private or non- profit agencies that have articulation agree- ments with various international programs. Dean Grecco’s role in this process has been to put students in contact with these institutions/organizations, help them obtain student visas, if necessary, and provide advice on how to prepare for their experience and what they should expect abroad. Once accepted into a program, students meet with MMC faculty advisors and select the courses they will complete abroad. They also sit down with financial aid counselors to deter- mine whether or not their financial aid can be Theatre Studies Major Learns the Importance of applied to the international experience.
