Thank You to SEMO's International Department & Criminal Justice Department!

Quite awhile ago I began in a frantic, yet well-thought out, search for funding from my University.  I have encountered a lot of NO!'s, but have also gotten some "maybe's" that have kept me going.  I am so happy to say that two of the searches have paid off!  I mentioned them in previous posts but never wanted to get my hopes up until they were official.  I still have one "maybe" out there that I will keep to myself though.

Both the International Education & Services Department and the Criminal Justice and Sociology Department have agreed to put money towards reimbursement of my international airfare!  The total ticket for round trip flight was right under $1,900.  I will be doing research while in country and receiving class credit through the CJ Dept. for my research.  I am also using this research for my Senior Honors Project which will most likely also include a University event sometime next Spring. 

The International Department has donated $750 and the Criminal Justice Department is donating $200!

I am very excited to receive this and cannot believe just how close this trip is!  I leave July 20, which is a mere 15 days from today.  How crazy is that?!
