January 5, 2000 - Martha Merrill, VP of American University in Kyrgyzstan, at Indiana's DePauw

The growth of higher education in the former Soviet Union is getting a boost from halfway around the world -- namely, DePauw University. Representatives of the American University in Kyrgyzstan (pronounced Cur-geez-stan) visited the DePauw campus today to learn more about how an American university actually operates. There also may be faculty exchanges.

Merrill talks with Ken Owen, director of media relations at DePauw.
