He said that while SFSU had the largest group of exchange applicants in the CSU, it was still a very small percentage of the student body. He felt that the financial problem for students is the most serious one inhibiting students from participating. Imahori also thanked Glugoski for her work. He questioned whether there is a scholarship plan available for students wanting to study abroad. Glugoski replied that students pay SFSU fees.

Some international programs cost more than attending at SFSU, but some actually cost less. Mallare questioned what areas of expertise our students pursue, what is the breakdown of graduate to undergraduate, and are there programs geared toward the Pacific Rim. Glugoski responded that there are programs in Taiwan, China, Korea, and Japan and they are hoping to expand to the Philippines. The majority of students are undergraduates with most in their junior year. Glugoski also expressed a hope of having more graduate students especially in health and human services.
