***URGENT - UPDATE***

Special thank you to each of you who helped in promoting the UCLA Hawai’i Travel Study Program! Based on this and after the Department manager convenes with the Department Chair (tomorrow), we plan to recommend to the UCLA International Education Office (UCLA Study Abroad) to give us more time, and that we can fill the class.

We need you more than ever now.
Register and submit the deposit ASAP: (http://ieo.ucla.edu/travelstudy)

Starting the application and submitting a deposit becomes tangible evidence to the UCLA Study Abroad office that students are committed in participating on this trip. So far, only 16 remain confirmed (paid deposits and are holding a spot on the program) and 8 have registered (have not paid and are not yet holding a spot on the program). I believe in this program, and I hope that you choose to commit to this.
