signed away up to a year of their lives Wednesday.
They have officially become the 1993-94 University represents
lives in the National Student Exchange program
The National Student Exchange program, started 25 years ago.
gives students the opportunity to attend different schools through
out the nation.
-v "I think, the program is absolutely essential b«cause it expands the
curriculum available to students across the almost 110 institutes
involved." said Joe Wade. University National Student Exchange
Coordinator.
Students also participate in the program for the travel experience.
Wade said He said some students enjoy the opportunity to attend a
college with a predominantly African-American. Hispanic or Native
American student body.
"Almost everyone has a story to tell about the reasons that they
exchange." Wade said. "Sharing those stories is a big part of this pro
gram. They're fascinating."
Amy Davis, an undeclared freshman, will be exchanging to the
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa to return to her roots Her
father's family has traced its lineage bock to antebellum Alabama
Freshman Gina De Santis is exchanging to the University of
Delaware to study Film and partake in an adventure.
"I figure if the opportunity is there you might ns well lake advan
tage of it.” she said. "You won't he in college forever."
On the receiving side of the exchange, various students from oth
er schools have come to Oregon tbexperience life in the northwest.
Adam Mertz., a pre-business major from the University of South
Dakota, came to Oregon for the mountains, the beach and the natur
al beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
"Oregon seemed like the place to be. he said "South Dakota s
really rural — lots of cornfields and stuff like that."
Despite the rain and the native Oregonians' humorous reactions to
a meager four inches of snow. Mertz said his exchange has been one
of the liest experiences he has ever had.
H ade said interviews will tiegin next October for candidates in the
1094-95 round of exchanges
