DID YOU KNOW that there are cells in the Big Ben clock tower? Members of Parliament can be imprisoned there for a breach of parliamentary privilege. Imprisonment, however, is rare: the last recorded case of a member being imprisoned was in 1880. |

Director's Message Over the past three years, six types of mobility have been defined and consolidated: Study Abroad, Exchange Mobility, Internships, Independent Study, Customized Programs, and Research. As of Summer 2008, UTD has formalized fifty one international collaborations with some of the most prestigious universities around the world, including seventeen exchange program agreements. I have the privilege to communicate that two hundred and fifty three UTD students pursued international educational programs during the academic year 2007-08, a growth of 95% over the previous academic year. Many of these students obtained support from the UTD International Education Fund Scholarship. This growth would not have been possible without the guidance of UTD leaders, administrative, and academic units that have been essential for shaping the OIE functions during the last three years and helped us to provide accessible, simple, and efficient services to our students. Thank you all!
