Sounds like you've got some very interesting programmes on offer. I'm especially intrigued by the Uganda seminar at UMU as I ran an SIT study abroad programme in Kenya for many years as well as forged the initial links for their Uganda-based offerings. Most of my energy these days is devoted to spreading the word about the Conflict Management in the Balkans Program http://www.academic-solutions.com/slovenia/index_slo.htm that I run every summer in Slovenia. In fact I'll be in Wisconsin in mid-March, quite close to you...at Marian College in Fond du Lac. I would be delighted to meet up with any students, faculty or administrators who might like to learn more about this unique 6-credit opportunity examining the Yugoslav wars of the 90s. This year (for the first time ever) we're also offering a UN seminar on Peacekeeping in the former Yugoslavia. Please let me know what you think of this idea. all the best, Ryan Ryan Lorenz Academic Solutions 99 Great Russell Street London, UK WC1B 3LA Tel. 020 7419 9849 Fax. 020 7813 3253 http://www.academic-solutions.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
