**Program Info Session: Wed Oct 29, 2008, 4pm-5pm, GEC Auditorium** "While I traveled to Southeast Asia to
explore other cultures,the greatest thing I took away from this
experience is what I learned about myself. It was an absolutely
amazing experience, one I feel necessary to understanding your identity
and your place in the world." Now that you are beginning your undergraduate career, you may be wondering, "How can I make the most of my time in Chapel Hill?" If you want the best education Carolina has to offer, we believe that you should not spend all your time in Chapel Hill. Explore the world. Study abroad. Imagine, next summer you could be studying in Singapore and Bangkok, two of the world’s most dynamic cities, where you can learn firsthand about the cultural and social forces shaping modern Asia. Join a UNC faculty member and a group of your fellow Tar Heels on an innovative eight-week academic program. The first four weeks will be based at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The second half of the program will be at Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand. Excursions to Malaysia and other sites are also included. The Carolina Southeast Asia Summer (SEAS) Program is made possible through a generous gift by Alston Gardner ('77) and Barbara Lee ('88) that will reward each of the 25 participants with a full scholarship covering all program costs. "The Southeast Asia Summer Program will give Carolina students a global context for the study of any subject - history, political science, literature, even the traditional sciences. The goal is to open minds to a world beyond the borders of North Carolina so that students will better understand the advantages we enjoy and the challenges we face." |
