[International] GENERAL MAILING: Education, Society and Culture in Modern Greece: updated information available

[Jenna Graff <graff@uwosh.edu>]

Dear Student:

You are receiving this message either because you are a member of the
INTERNATIONAL listserv or because you indicated an interest in/applied to
the UW Oshkosh-sponsored study abroad program "Education, Society
and Culture in Modern Greece."

Experience Greek education, society, and culture while attending
informational seminars in the seaside communities of Volos and Athens,
two of the 2004 Summer Olympic cities. Participate in social service
activities to observe practices addressing societal issues.  While
in Volos, explore such places as the traditional villages of the Pelion
mountain region of Thessaly, the majestic rock formations with ancient
monasteries and ancient ruins at
Meteora,
the
Athanassakeion
Archaeological Museum of Volos and perhaps one of the outlying
islands.  After departing Volos, travel to Athens and tour the
National
and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the
Akropolis
with its Parthenon, the Plaka area, the Benakion Museum of Greek Civilization, the Greek National Historical Museum, and the Athens 2004 Olympic village building. These communities reflect urban, rural and diverse environments and offer unique opportunities for professional and personal growth.  During this program you will visit cities such as Volos, Larissa, Meteora, Makrinitsa and Athens in Greece and experience Greek culture. Most of these communities are in the Thessaly region and reflect urban, rural and diverse environments.

Updated information, including program dates and a tentative program itinerary, is now available for this program at
http://www.uwosh.edu/oie/EGREE.html

We are currently working on the program fee estimate and will share this information as soon as it is available.

For this program, applications will be accepted first-come, first-served either until the program is full or until the application deadline, whichever occurs first (students from universities other than UW Oshkosh and community members will be assigned any available seats just after the application deadline).  For more information on the application process, please visit
http://www.uwosh.edu/oie/faqs.html.

In 2006, our program filled well before the application deadline in February (it had filled by early November of 2005).  Please plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at oie@uwosh.edu, call us at 424-0775 or stop by to see us in Dempsey 146!

If you had indicated an interest in this specific program earlier and are no longer interested, please let me know and I will remove your name from my mailing list.  If you are a member of the INTERNATIONAL listserv and would like to remove your name from this list, go to
