SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 THE BACHELOR THE STUDENT VOICE OF WABASH COLLEGE SINCE 1908 NEW YEAR, NEW GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES WALLIES ENCOURAGED TO INVESTIGATE STUDY ABROAD INITIATIVES BRENT BREESE ‘19 | STAFF WRITER • As students settle into the routine of a new school year, underclassmen approach a time when they need to make a very important decision: Off Campus Study. OCS allows students to spend a period of study at another institution, most commonly abroad. Popular destinations include continental Europe such as Spain or Germany, but more recently students have spent semesters in exotic locations such as China and Morocco. Regardless, the time for planning is right now, and Sophomores have a thorough process to go through if they plan on studying off campus. Director of International Programs Amy Weir is the primary point of contact for an extended period of time as students plan the potential Off Campus Study. “This year is a little different than in years past,” Weir said. Typically all sophomores receive an email concerning an information session wherein Weir covers the Wabash OCS application.
