UNIVERSITY
; Project brings many benefits
I By Markus Mazurktowicz
I for Ww Oregon Lteo l morals
■ The Global Kducntion Project is at work again
this year giving students a unique opportunity to
help others while they help themselves
Although the two-year-old project is entering its
last year of funding from the U S Department of
induration, the program leaders have high expo* -
lotions for the future and am positive that the pro
gram's benefits are numerous
The project allows students returning from
abroad to talk afKiut the sights and sounds of other
countries while teaching others at the same time
"I enjoyed l>eing able to talk to children about
Australia and leach them about it." said under
graduate Katherine Gibbs, who worked as an
intern with the project Inst year Gibbs jiliins to
participate in the projec t again
Students can talk about anything from cuisine
and culture to politic s Some students lecture in
public-school classrooms Others write docu
ments. make presentations at the University or
work directly with international students on i am
pin.
"It s a very student-c entered project," coordi
nator Jean (Campbell said "It really has a tremen
dous impai t on their re-entry experience
Melinda McClelland, a graduate student at the
University. has worked on and off for two years
with the props t
"I think the l>est tiling a!»out it is that the campus
and < ommumtv have the chance to be exposed to
more international issues." she said She has
found her work to he a very rewarding experience.
"t love this field I get to work with students
who are integrating the experience into their life,"
she said
The project also tries to i reate opportunities for
both international and returned students to lecture
in different departments on campus Exchange stu
dents from the former Soviet Republic of (ieorgia
an add an interesting angle to a classroom study
ing mm ial or economic issues in that area
Returning students < an also provide information
about their travels through different i ountries that
have been affected by political change.
'One of our more < hallenging goals is *o work
< loser to faculty and departments.'' Campbell said.
"This has not been overly suet essful in the past."
Campbell is hopeful, however, and said the out
look this year looks good
Although the program has proven to be valuable
to both students and community, the GKP faces the
i hallonge of next year, when the funds provided
bv FIPSK. the Fund for the Improvement of Post
Secondary Education, runs out.
"That puts on a lot of pressure to find more
external funding," Campbell said. The economic
conditions in Oregon will make next year tough,
and even with funding from other sources, the pro
gram will have to be si aled back, she said.
"Wo are trying to identify the things that are
really at the heart of the program." she said.

will get the word out for students
to begin to think holistically in
their everyday uses because we
need to think about it," Liven
good said.
The state of Oregon already has
stringent rules for large and medi
mn quantity waste generators, vet
households are an important area
to reach in considering hazardous
waste disposal.
"Households are a major area
that have been lacking in the reg
ulatory scheme, and I don't see
that changing anytime in the near
future." Livengood said.
So in the meantime, students
need to voluntarily consider what
their use and disposal of every
day hazardous materials w ill do
to the environment.
"Think 'pre-cycling,' " Kaplan
said "We need to think of safer
alternatives so we don’t even
have to worry about how to dis
pose of these hazardous materi
als from our homes."
