STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM. Summer 2018 During this reporting period three LSP BUE Cohort 1 students were placed at U.S. universities for the summer term where they would take courses relevant to their fields of study and take part in a one-month long internship. The Study Abroad Officer worked with the students to finalize their visas and conducted a pre-departure orientation on May 27. The pre-departure orientation consisted of interactive activities focusing on four parts: - USAID, IIE and program conditions of sponsorship and rules and regulations. - U.S. culture and academic life. - Travel journey simulation. - Fears and Expectations. The PDO was facilitated with the input of six LOTUS study abroad returnees. The activities followed an experiential learning approach; the activities included interactive discussions, visuals and a simulation of the travel journey. Students were informed and were able to experience different situations they would experience. At the end of the PDO the students received their passports, visas, DS2019 forms, allowances and signed an agreement confirming their commitment to the LSP program upon return. Fall 2018 Out of the 19 LSP Cohort 1 AASTMT students who sat for the Toefl IBT, 12 students received the required score of 70 or above to be considered for the Fall 2018 term. The remaining 7 students were given the choice to retake the test at their own expense before May 12, 2018 or defer their study abroad to the spring term taking the test before September 20, 2018. Two students took the exam on June 2, 2018 but due to errors during the exam they scheduled to retake it in August and thus deferred their placement to the Spring 2019 term along with the remaining 5 students who did not score 70 or above. IIE placement team in NY reviewed and sent the 12 students’ common applications to universities that offer courses relevant to the students’ fields of study, offer cost share, offer housing and meal plans for the whole duration and are willing to sign a host form stating they will not offer continued admission to the students after they complete their term abroad. The Study Abroad Officer conducted an initial meeting with the students on June 24, 2018. During the meeting, the students were introduced to the program objectives, the stakeholder’s responsibilities and the conditions of sponsorship. To finalize the placement, students were instructed to complete the course mapping with their departments at the Arab Academy for Science Technology & Maritime ...

STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM. Current Opportunities: During this reporting period, nine study abroad students were in the U.S. at various universities and completed a month-long internship. One student returned early because he was dismissed from the internship before completing the one-month requirement. In addition, IIE developed and received USAID approval for a four-week Nursing Observational Study Tour (OST) in summer 2018 with the objective of enhancing the nursing students’ knowledge, exposing them to different types of health care environments, and motivating them to explore different nursing career paths and to enhance the nursing profession in Egypt. Twelve nursing students participated in the OST at the University of Kentucky in Lexington and Salve Xxxxxx University in Newport, Rhode Island. A detailed summary of the OST can be found in the Students Highlight and Successes section of this report. This marks the end of the study abroad component for the LOTUS program. All targets related to the study abroad indicators were achieved.

Five students could not join the session but are scheduled to join the re-entry session in January 2019 with the LSP students. The session was conducted by XXX Consultant, IIE staff members attended the sessions to witness the progress of the students who passed through different stages of development.
