IUB Law Day is coming Tuesday, October 20!
Tuesday, October 20 is Law Day at IUB. With a record 111 schools registered (so far), it will again be the largest Law Fair in the country! It is a rare opportunity that most college students around the nation simply do not have. Attending can give you a head-start and an edge on the competition. Questions? Contact HPPLC at hpplc@indiana.edu or call 812.855.1873.
Both events below are for ALL IU students, including freshmen and sophomores. But if you are a current applicant or a junior, you would be making a BIG mistake in failing to attend. BTW, casual attire is fine.
1. Panel Discussion, Q & A, 9:00 am - 10:45 am (quiet latecomers welcome) in Whittenberger Auditorium - IMU. Law School Deans from IUB, Iowa, Dayton, and Santa Clara will reveal the inner secrets of their admission processes: “WHAT REALLY WORKS IN A LAW SCHOOL APPLICATION!” This insider information is not available in stores! The panel is extremely informative, and always entertaining---so come early and come with questions.
2. Law Fair, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm in Alumni Hall.
Representatives from 111 law schools are here to recruit YOU! Ask questions about their programs, admission requirements, and your specific strengths (and weaknesses). Pick up material, forms, information (and souvenirs). Most reps are Deans of Admission, and making a good personal impression can be helpful in the admissions process. Don’t know what to ask? See our handout “Questions to Ask Law Schools” at , and will be available at the Fair as well.
Questions? Do not reply to this email, but contact the Health Professions and Prelaw Center by emailing hpplc@indiana.edu, or by calling 812.855.1873.
For detailed information, including a list of attending schools, and a handout with suggested questions to ask, see: http://www.hpplc.indiana.edu/law/law-lawday.shtml.

SPEA - Scholars in Global Citizenship Application Deadline Soon
SPRING 2010 – Scholars in Global Citizenship - Korea
SPEA V450 / 13762 Topics in Public Affairs
Hutton and SPEA Honors Credit
Approved in all SPEA majors
Prospectus:
Globalization, which some sources continue to define largely in terms of economic integration and the free flow of capital, also involves the transfer of ideas, knowledge, and values. Students in this special course have a unique opportunity to test just how far and in how many areas of public life the forces of globalization extend. The course focuses on how globalization shapes and shifts resources, opportunities and creates challenges in societies that are rapidly changing. Societies in the midst of rapid change include, for example, those that have developed a large middle class in a single generation, have high rates of high-speed internet access in the home, have moved toward greater pluralism and political openness – among other trends. We expect that, in these societies, globalization’s impacts should be readily observable though not necessarily easily comprehendible. Hence, our primary objective is to improve our comprehension of the processes and outcomes of globalization in societies that are rapidly changing and developing – for example, in South Korea. This course meets in the second eight weeks of spring 2010. The course consists of a 12-day field module in Seoul, South Korea in May 12-26, 2009.
Course Requirements
Student groups will prepare for and lead discussion for each session of the course. Discussion leaders’ responsibilities include: 1) summarizing key points from the readings 2) developing and submitting to the instructor three discussion questions no less than three days before the class meets; and 3) assigning a short news article or equivalent article to fellow students on an aspect of Korean politics, business, or society that is relevant to the assigned reading. The course includes an exam at the end of the semester and a 15-20 page term paper due prior to the end of summer session 1. Active class participation is also required. Participation of students in debate and discussion is not simply desirable -- it is vital, especially for a seminar course like V450. Hence, a portion of your grade will be determined by the vigor of your participation in class discussions as well as your professionalism during the overseas portion of the course.
South Korea Module (May 12-26) Depart from Indianapolis
The study tour in South Korea encourages students to consider how globalization affects governments, businesses, community organizations, and ordinary people in South Korea. Korea is an excellent “field site” for studying impacts of globalization on state and society, with its open economy, and with new and growing challenges posed by this openness. Those challenges including managing ever-growing influxes of migrant workers, and balancing economic growth with environmental protection. Students are encouraged to consider how Korea is developing governance institutions – both in the public and nonprofit areas – to manage globalization. Korea’s goal is to ensure that these institutions catch up with the nation’s already strong and vibrant economy. A study tour in Korea will focus on key public affairs and nonprofit sector issues relevant to Korea and to the Korea-US relationship.
Prestigious Yonsei University serves as the institutional base for the SGCP in Korea. The Division of International Education and Exchange, which handles Yonsei University’s partnership agreements worldwide, will be the primary point of contact for SPEA. Seoul-based Yonsei, which is among the very top universities in Asia, boasts 502 partner universities in 56 countries around the world. Its international student body and global worldview, coupled with its longstanding partnerships with SPEA, make it an ideal base for the SGC’s first program. Moreover, SPEA is proud that its alumni occupy high professorial and administrative posts at Yonsei. The course instructor, Dr. Matthew Auer, and the SGC co-director, Stephanie Lewis, will reside in the same dormitory as the students.
Course fee of $2900.00 includes round trip group air transportation from Indianapolis, ground transportation from and to Seoul from Incheon Airport, housing, some meals, all site module course materials, entrance fees and bus transportation for extracurricular group activities.
