Epstein asks specifically about semester-long study abroad for students in SEEK or ASAP. Holland says she needs to get back to him with data and agrees to examine barriers for those students.

Harvey D. Epstein

I mean, more like a semester study abroad for a student who's in a SEEK or an ASAP program.

Harvey D. Epstein

What percentage of those students?

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

I would need to get back to you on that.

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

That's a really good question.

Harvey D. Epstein

I'd like to know, and I'd like to know what barriers might be for the population of students.

Harvey D. Epstein

Yeah.

Harvey D. Epstein

Yeah, I'm not arguing with you, but I just, not my, I don't want to put words in their mouths, but, you know.

Harvey D. Epstein

And then the other question is, you know, we have paid internships at CUNY now, and it's really been a benefit for a lot of the students.

Harvey D. Epstein

If they're doing study abroad, are there potential stipends available for students who may need financial support because of, you know, the Mayan Habana?

Harvey D. Epstein

Ability for food and other support.

Harvey D. Epstein

I'm wondering what's available for study abroad.
