Information Sessions for European Union 2008 Summer Seminar/Study Trip

The European Union Center of Excellence at Indiana University is pleased to announce that its 2008 summer seminar/study-trip "The European Union in the 21st Century" will take place from May 12 to June 4, 2008. Focus will be on the opportunities and challenges faced by the evolving European Union and its member states, with seminars held in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw. The 2008 program will be led by Professor John McCormick, chair of the Department of Political Science at IUPUI and noted EU specialist.

This program is open to all graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with an interest in European affairs or European Union studies. The course prepares approximately 20 graduate and upper-level undergraduate students for advanced studies or professional careers in the international arena. Students benefit from hands-on experience with real policy issues in seminars with high-profile public and private executives, policy makers, and academicians.

The EU Center will be holding a series of information sessions for students interested in the seminar/study-trip. These will be held Tuesday, November 13 and Wednesday, November 14 at 5:30 p.m. in Woodburn Hall 116. All students are welcome to attend, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could spread the word to your graduate and upper-level undergraduate students who may be interested in this unique opportunity.
