CONSIDER EUROSPRING 08
I HOPE YOU WILL THINK ABOUT EUROSPRING 08 AS A POSSIBILITY IN YOUR ACADEMIC FUTURE. I WILL BE THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR NEXT SPRING, AND THIS TRIP SHOULD BE THE BEST ONE EVER!!
Eurospring was the first study abroad program at BSU, begun in 1979. Having done the trip two times, I can personally attest to its high quality and its power as a life-changing experience. You leave in mid-March for five weeks of study at Wycliffe Hall in Oxford, England. Then you travel to Paris to begin an incredible 3-week tour of central Europe, including Switzerland, Florence, Rome, Venice, Austria and Germany. You earn 15 credits for the two months of the program. Financial aid is available. The cost will be approximately $6000, which includes airfare, most meals, accommodations, etc. All you need is spending money. Tuition is extra. That may sound like a lot of money (and it is!); however, keep in mind that you could never do such a two-month trip to Europe on your own for that price. In addition, the value of this experience appreciates over the years, unlike a $6000 car, for example, which depreciates the moment you leave the car lot.
We are having an informational meeting Wednesday, May 2 at 3 p.m. in HS 112. If you can't make that meeting, contact me for more information, or next year's academic director, Prof. Pat Donnay (pdonnay@bemidjistate.edu) or LaMae Ritchie in the International Program Center in Deputy 103 (lritchie@bemidjistate.edu).
Also keep in mind that the Eurospring head lecturer, Prof. Allan Chapman of Wadham College in Oxford, will be here September 24 for his annual lecture. He's the most dynamic lecturer you'll ever meet and that experience may help you make that decision. Watch for more information on that even when classes resume in the fall.
