Largest study abroad program

I added a reference to the claim that MSU runs the largest study-abroad program in the U.S. (in terms of number of students sent), then noticed the 1999 publishing date of the State News article. Upon further research I see that the 2007 report from the Institute of International Education, the same group cited in the 1999 article, states that MSU is no longer the largest. I have removed the entire sentence, since without this factoid the rest is redundant — the paragraph already mentions that the International Center is home to the Office of International Studies and Programs.
