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:

international and in the U.S.):

studying abroad: http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/blogs.htm

LOOKING FOR SOME INTERESTING READING?
GEO has some study abroad zines (Cáfe 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!  (If 
you're interested in just learning more but not applying right away, you 
can also contact her at any time, including this summer, to get this 
information!)
