Dear President Garrett,

I would like to convey Resolution 24: Cost Barriers to Study Abroad to you. This resolution was sponsored by Philip Titcomb and Jordan Berger. This resolution recommends that Cornell University take necessary strides to reduce cost
barriers for studying abroad. The resolution commends Administration for continuing to charge students the cost of their non-Cornell international program in lieu of charging for traditional Cornell tuition and fees for their semester abroad.

The resolution recommends that President Garrett encourages the Board of Trustees to eliminate or significantly reduce the CIPT to help students offset the additional costs that they will incur as a part of the abroad experience including visas and airline tickets.

Thank you for the time and consideration.

Kind regards,
Juliana
