College of Social Work sponsors trip to India BY ROB SEAL THE GAMECOCK The College of Social Work is sending students to India for the first time as a part of USC’s study abroad program. Frank Raymond of the College of Social Work said the trip will cost around $3,400, which includes airfare, lodging, registration and participation in a symposium. The symposium is sponsored by the Inter-University Consortium for International Social Development, an organization of social-work practitioners, scholars SURFYOURSELF Find out more about USC study abroad programs www.sc.edu/ips and students from more than 60 countries that conducts studies and holds conferences on social issues. Leon Ginsberg, dean of the College of Social Work, said the symposium in India will concen trate on international social issues with an emphasis on policymaking. “The emphasis here will be on social welfare policy. Those are the rules under which social wel fare operates, like social security, child welfare and family policy,” Ginsberg said. “They will be talk ing about political theory and new government approaches to social welfare.” The trip is open to all students and is worth three credit hours. Social Work professionals can also go to earn seven Continuing Education Units, or 70 contract hours. Students can inquire about loans from the university. The trip will include visits to several social-service agencies, as well as historical and cultural sites such as the Taj Mahal, Ginsberg said. The trip is scheduled between Dec. 27,2003, and Jan. 14,2004. It will concentrate on northern and western parts of India. The College of Social Work has been organizing trips abroad for students and faculty since 1986. The program has sponsored trips to foreign countries every year since then, with the exception of 1993, when a trip to Egypt was can celed. “We found out that there had been some conflict between some Egyptians and tourists, so we had to cancel that trip,” Ginsberg said. Ginsberg said the College of Social Work will be keeping its eye on the political climate in India. “Any time there is internation al conflict, it cuts back on trips,” Ginsberg said. “War makes trans portation difficult, and we would, of course, avoid putting our stu dents and faculty into any situa tion that could be dangerous to them.” The College of Social Work also has trips planned to Ghana and Great Britain, both scheduled for May of this year.
