technology junior who received a study abroad
scholarship. She participated in the Technology and
Culture: Communication and Games in Japan study
abroad program this summer.
“Studying abroad in Japan was one of the best experiences
I’ve ever had. Meeting and conversing with Japanese university
students, visiting major companies, and sightseeing across the
country were all incredible opportunities that I would have
never experienced if I hadn’t chosen to study abroad. I also
met and got to know fellow MSU students who I never
would have gotten to know otherwise. Studying
abroad in Japan was a once in a lifetime opportu-
nity, and I’m so grateful I experienced it.”

to Save the Children” collected two
2011 regional Emmy awards – one for best
documentary-cultural and one for best writing. The
documentary, produced by Bob Gould and Sue Carter
from the School of Journalism, focused on MSU’s work and
progress in Malawi to help children who contract malaria. The
documentary highlights the work being done by MSU faculty
member Terrie Taylor over the past 24 years in Malawi, including
a $9.1 million federal grant to create new prevention and control
strategies in the small African nation.
In this photo, producer and faculty member Bob Gould
gave the Malawi children the chance to record some of
their surroundings. He promptly snapped the moment

“I have recently returned from my study abroad
trip to Japan, an opportunity I am very grateful
to have experienced. The country was incredibly
beautiful, and the people were very helpful and
polite. I was always impressed at how hard the
locals tried to help me and my fellow classmates
when we had a question.
The technology was also remarkable, the cell
phones we saw had 1080p streaming, which is
full HD, and used 18megapixel cameras. I also
learned about augmented reality, which is the
concept of using an everyday object and
altering one’s perception of it through
a device such as a computer.
Through this trip to Japan, I was also able to
reunite with my grandfather, who I have only
met once before. We were able to spend the
afternoon together, and it also gave me a good
opportunity to really practice my Japanese.
I would like to once again express my thanks
for the scholarship that assisted in making this
study abroad opportunity possible.”

THANK YOU
TO ALL OF
OUR GENEROUS DONORS
FOR HELPING TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARDS OF OUR COLLEGE!

42. Prepare tomorrow’s
GLOBAL COMMUNICATORS
today.
Help a student complete a degree from the MSU
College of Communication Arts & Sciences,
one of the nation’s largest, oldest and best
communication programs.
“Michigan State University and the College of
Communication Arts & Sciences create
opportunities – opportunities to explore, grow,
and dream big. When I started as a
freshman, I immediately realized that many of
these experiences were available because of
the legacies of the Spartans before me.
To me, “alumni” has become another word for
“family.” Knowing that I received support from
the MSU community means so much more to
me than just being able to pay for my intern-
ship expenses and provides encouragement
in how I strive to use my degree.
If every CAS student has a chance to feel the
same support that I do from alumni like you,
there is no limit to the ways that we will
impact this world. That’s why the college
wants to continue helping students achieve
success by growing its Strategic Opportuni-
ties Fund. This fund provides students like me
with opportunities to receive scholarships
and fellowships, in addition to supporting
other student needs within the college.”
