Opportunities to study abroad introduce students to other societies-whilthey continue to work toward their degree, but can prove challenging to faculty who direct the programs. "One of the biggest hurdles I think that I have faced trying to plan study abroad trips is gauging where students want to go," said Peter Gitau, vice president of student affairs and director of the study abroad trip to Kenya in June. Kelly Bringhurst, the department chair for physical sciences and professor of geology, is directing a study abroad trip to Costa Rica. Bringhurst said the process begins with a proposal in front of the department chair and the dean. If the proposal is approved, it is voted on by the Global Engagement Committee. "When you travel internationally now, the process also includes that the president of the university signs off," Bringhurst said. "There's certain countries that are on a watch list that you're not allowed to go to." Most of the countries on the watch list are within Africa and the Middle East due to contagious illnesses, civil unrest and increasing crime rates.

Bringhurst and Gitau both agree one of the biggest challenges for faculty is keeping the prices low enough for college students to afford while also covering the expenses of the trip. "There's a fee, and those need to be as accurate as possible," Bringhurst said. "The budget needs a lot of work." Fees for trips depend on room and board expenses in the different countries. Jade Jarvis, a freshman education major from Birmingham, said she has always been interested in studying abroad, but the cost is a deterrent.

CORRECTIONS Correction from Feb. 22 issue: The author named in a caption on page 3 is Stephenie Meyer. Students for Choice Club from Dixie State University gathered for women's reproductive rights Friday. Jazzy's Rock'n Roll Grill played host for the Students for Choice Club benefit concert, which was dubbed "Riot for Choice." The benefit was held for Planned Parenthood and all proceeds went to support the organization. Over 50 people packed into Jazzy's to participate in the event to enjoy the live music and support Planned Parenthood. By the time the bands had finished playing, Hannah Milne, a sophomore communication major from St. George and president of Students for Choice, said the benefit had raised over $1,100. Milne was one of the event organizers. She said Jazzy's and the bands all volunteered their resources for free. "I've been involved in the music scene here in St. George for a while," Milne said. "So I had a good idea of who to talk to when I wanted to organize the 'Riot for Choice.'" With the political discussion of defunding Planned Parenthood going on across the nation, Mat-ti- e Larsen, a senior fine arts major from St. George and vice president for Students for Choice, said it was vital to show support for Planned Parenthood at this time. "I don't qualify for health insurance, and it is only because of Planned Parenthood that I have access to things like pap smears and can control my reproductive health," Larsen said. "It's important to show Planned Parenthood that we support and appreciate them during these hard times." Milne also said it was RECORD continued from page 1 easier for me to listen to them later when I'm in focus or doing the homework. It's easy for me to just listen to them and them right there."
