AMIDEAST/Egypt Study Abroad Updates
AMIDEAST is a leading American non-profit organization engaged in international education, training and development activities in the Middle East and North Africa.
Because of the revolution and deteriorating security situation, AMIDEAST/Egypt evacuated all of its students from the Cairo program on January 31 and successfully transferred virtually all of them to other AMIDEAST program locations in Rabat, Morocco, and Amman, Jordan.
Now we are planning for the reopening of the program here in the fall. It should be a truly fascinating and opportune time for students to experience the “new Egypt” first hand. Of course we continue to monitor the security situation very closely at all of our program sites in the region, and if conditions are not conducive to running the program here in the fall, we won’t. The students who have been accepted for Cairo will be offered places in either Rabat or Amman (their choice, as was the case with the student evacuated in January).
FALL 2011 DEADLINE April 1
Check out the different programs offered on their website: http://www.amideast.org/abroad/programs

Core Principles of AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World

- development of intercultural sensitivity and global competence
- overseen by an Academic Consortium consisting of U.S. colleges and universities that jointly provide quality assurance for the programs through ongoing review and periodic site visits to meet with students, faculty and program staff
- large enough, in terms of student enrollment, to assure valuable discussion and diversity but not so large as to isolate students from the host society or become unwieldy and unmanageable

The international summer camp will bring together people from around the world who are interested in experiencing the unique place and people in Palestine. Our goal is to host volunteers interested in the Middle East question, from above all, while Palestine may seem daunting, it is also a highly rewarding environment to study firsthand. We strongly encourage motivated and serious men and women to apply.
The daily program of the international summer camp consists of daily voluntary work at the campus delivered by international volunteers to local students on the topics mentioned in the link provided below. In return, the internationals will be involved in workshops that are administered by professors from our University on the Middle East issues that are of interest to them.

The Latin/Greek Institute of The City University of New York
The deadline for submitting applications and all supporting materials for the basic programs in 2011 is April 29 .
The deadline for submitting applications and all supporting materials for the Upper Level Latin Program in 2011 is April 13.
The Institute offers intensive, total-immersion programs in ancient languages during the summer that enable serious, highly motivated undergraduate, and graduate students to cover the material normally included in several semesters of conventional work in a single summer. All programs are team-taught by experienced instructors. Hourly rotation of staff provides for exposure to a variety of approaches, and there is a low student-faculty ratio. In addition to being intensive, the institute is unique in that the faculty is available twenty-four hours a day to assist students by phone in preparing their assignments.
No auditors are permitted in the programs of the Latin/Greek Institute. Admission is by application only.
The Institute is held at the Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, in New York City. The Center is easily accessible by all major means of public transportation.
THE BASIC PROGRAMS: GENERAL INFORMATION
The basic programs of the Latin/Greek Institute enable students with no previous training in either language to cover the material normally included in four to six semesters of college-level Latin or Greek in ten weeks of instruction.
The work of the Institute is extremely demanding, with the equivalent of one week's material in a normal college setting covered each day. Classes begin at 9:30 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with only a short break for lunch. Quizzes are given daily. There are substantial nightly assignments and weekly examinations. The programs provide daily drills and a review for students who want extra help. Each student has a faculty advisor to help with any difficulties the student is having.
The Latin/Greek Institute should not be a student's first serious experience in the study of a foreign language. Applicants should demonstrate previous success in language-learning. The experience of more than twenty-five years has shown that the successful student will possess a good knowledge of English syntax, strong memory skills, and a willingness to sustain for a full ten weeks his or her commitment to the rigorous work of the program. No successful applicant should enroll who has any other commitment for the summer, e.g., term papers, job, family problems, or other demands.
Many students of previous Institutes have found the work the most demanding of their academic careers but also the most rewarding.
Twelve undergraduate credits can be earned in either language through Brooklyn College.
Application
Intensive Language Study at The University of Chicago
Go further, faster with summer session language courses at the University of Chicago. All of our summer language courses are intensive, meaning they condense the material typically taught during the 10-week quarter into a concentrated three-week format. So a student taking a three-course sequence over nine weeks will cover all of the material that is usually taught at the University of Chicago over an academic year. In addition, the University of Chicago’s innovative language courses cover more material in a year than is covered at most colleges and universities, making Chicago the destination for summer language learning.
Deadlines
Visiting students must submit their registration requests, housing applications (if residential), and nonrefundable $500 deposit(s) by May 15, 2011. Late registrations and housing applications will not be processed without the payment of late fees.
International visiting Students needing visas must submit their registration requests, housing applications (if residential), and nonrefundable $500 deposit(s) no later than May 2, 2011.
