Paonia grad to study in South Korea

The Council on International Education Exchange, CIEE, the world leader in international education and exchange, announced that Kacey E. Kropp, a student at University of Northern Colorado, was selected as one of 40 U.S. university students to study in South Korea during spring break as part of the fifth annual CIEE South Korea Scholarship program.

As a CIEE South Korea Scholar, Kropp will spend March 17-26 at Yonsei University — South Korea's oldest and most acclaimed university — located in Seoul, attending academic lectures, going on cultural tours, and participating in excursions to historically and culturally important areas of the country.

Each activity, from introductory language classes to a trip to the Demilitarized Zone, is specifically designed to immerse students in South Korea's unique culture, customs, language and people.

The CIEE South Korea Scholarship program, known in Korea as the Korea – U.S. Youth Network, is made possible through CIEE's close partnership with the Korea Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of Korea through various international exchange programs.
