In today's Chrisitan Science Monitor, there is an op-ed piece by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton (former chair and vice chair of the 9/11 commission) titled "Send More Students Abroad" http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0612/p09s01-coop.html.
It's an interesting read and urges support of the Simon Study Abroad Act. As I mentioned in my blog entry from earlier this week, the Simon bill is stalled in the Senate and everyone interested in supporting study abroad needs to contact their Senators immediately to urge them to pass the Simon bill. To find out more information about the Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act, visit www.nafsa.org. Time is running out on this bill so please act now!
