Message-ID: <48245184.10301@hampshire.edu> Thanks everyone for subscribing to the GEO digest this year! We hope it was helpful to you. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improving this digest in the future by replying to this email. We'll start up regular digests again this fall. In the meantime, please read the helpful information below: * Studying abroad this summer? * Studying abroad next spring? * GEO is available this summer! (Also, check out our website!) * Looking for some interesting reading? GEO has study abroad zines! * Want to apply for a Fulbright, Rhodes, or Marshall scholarship? We hope the semester ended (or is ending) well for you, and that you have a completely fabulous summer, whatever it is that you're doing! Best wishes, The Global Education Office (GEO) staff ----------- STUDYING ABROAD THIS SUMMER? Coursework, language study, internships, volunteer work -- whatever it is, GEO wants to hear about it! This information will be very helpful to students looking to do something abroad in future summers. Please remember to fill out GEO's "My Abroad Experience Report" when you get back! It's found at: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/returning.htm . This is helpful both for GEO staff advising and also for students to read if they're looking for interesting summer opportunities (or opportunities they may want to avoid!). We'd love as little or as much information as you'd like to give! ----------- STUDYING ABROAD NEXT SPRING (2009)? If you haven't already, research your options this summer BEFORE you return this fall ----------- GEO IS AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER! GEO is here all summer and available to help you via phone, email, or in-office meetings. Don't forget about these valuable resources to help you: Global Education Office (GEO): x5542, geo at hampshire.edu, open regular hours all summer (but call before coming just in case!) GEO Website: http://geo.hampshire.edu We've made a lot of additions, edits, and updates to our website over the last year, so be sure to stop by and check it out! Here are just SOME of the neat things you'll find: * explanation of Hampshire's definition for Field Study & Exchange (and how they work financially): http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/opportunities.htm * information on all of Hampshire's Exchange Programs (both international and in the U.S.): http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/opportunities.htm * resources regarding health & safety while abroad, getting passports & visas, and some other useful websites: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/goabroad.htm * resources for finding funding & scholarships: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/funding.htm * blogs from students who have studied abroad or who are currently studying abroad: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/blogs.htm * a brief annotated list of non-Hampshire programs that might be a good fit for Hampshire students AND a list of search databases for finding more non-Hampshire opportunities: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/fieldstudy.htm ----------- LOOKING FOR SOME INTERESTING READING? GEO has some study abroad zines (C?fe Abroad & Abroad View), with numerous articles and photos by students who have studied abroad! Not only is this a good way to read about the world and find out what you might do while studying abroad, but it's something you should consider after you study abroad! We have so many copies, please come and take one! ----------- WANT TO APPLY TO A FULBRIGHT, RHODES, OR MARSHALL SCHOLARSHIP? If you're interested in applying to any of these for the 2009-2010 school year, contact Vanessa Paulman (in GEO) as soon as possible!
