What is an Affiliated Partner?
Since Rhodes does not currently offer any of our own faculty-led
semester programs, we send students on semester programs with
a number of trusted partners (AIFS, USAC, and all the other
acronyms). Our partner programs are either exchange programs
or what we call affiliated programs. As long as you go abroad with
an affiliated partner, you are still fully considered a Rhodes student
while abroad – and any and all of you Rhodes financial aid will go
with you. If the program includes tuition, room, and board, you pay Rhodes tuition, room,
and board and all your aid applies. If the study abroad program only includes tuition, you
pay Rhodes tuition. Our affiliated partners also take students on summer programs either
to places where we do not have Maymesters, or if a student wants a longer summer
abroad experience. Just know that institutional aid is not portable for summer programs,
though some federal and/or state aid may be. Talk this over with the Financial Aid office to
see if you are eligible to use any non-institutional aid abroad for the summer.

Valentine’s Day Around the World
Happy Valentine’s Day from the Buckman Center for International Education!
Argentina - For a week in July, Argentina celebrates sweetness week where they exchange
sweets for kisses.
South Korea - On February 14th, women gift the men with candy,
flowers, etc. while men gift the women on March 14th for White Day.
For those who don’t have anyone to celebrate with, Black Day is on
April 14th where the singles eat Jajangmyeon, or black noodles.
Wales - Wales does Valentine’s Day a bit different as well. They celebrate Saint
Dwynwen, the Welsh saint of lover on January 25th. During this time, it is cus-
tomary for the Welsh men to give their women wooden love spoons.
South Africa - On February 14th, women wear hearts on their sleeves and pin
the names of their love interests on their sleeves.
Denmark - On Valentine’s Day, men sometimes send funny poems called
gaekkebrev to women. If the woman who received the poem can figure
out who sent it by the series of dots left by the sender, the sender will
give the receiver an Easter egg later in the year.

Rhodes to the World
Studying Abroad from a Rhodes Global Diplomat
Name: Jacob Moore
Class Year: 2021
Major: History
Minor: English
Studied Abroad in: Ecuador (Maymester 2018) and European Studies (Fall 2019)
About his experiences:
My study abroad experiences have been highlights from my college experience. Being able
to some Spanish immersion in Ecuador during the summer of 2018 and then study
abroad again a year later at Oxford University is an opportunity that very few people get.
These adventures greatly improved not only my intellectual growth as a student but also
broadened my worldview and, as a result, made me a more well-rounded individual on a
personal level. If you have the chance to study abroad ANYWHERE, do it.
