Center for International Studies pushes to fill university?s Seville program

Published Mar 8, 2011

In the final push for the March 15 deadline to apply for programs in fall 2011, the Center for International Studies is trying to attract more people to the university's Seville program, a study abroad official said.

Alexis Branaman, study abroad coordinator, said the center was encouraging students to attend in the fall to even out enrollment in the program between the fall and spring semesters. She said students have gone during the spring in the past because of a longer semester, better weather and because students don't want to miss activities in the fall on campus.

Throw the records out the window, forget about the conference seeding, and focus on 40 minutes of basketball against Wyoming in the Mountain West Conference Championship opener, head men's basketball coach Jim Christian said.

"What's happened, hopefully you learn from those things, you get kind of a second chance, and that for us in our situation is refreshing for our team, because at this point records go out the window."
