Faculty Lounge, Franklin Patterson Hall

Have questions about studying abroad? About figuring out how to afford 
it? Why not get these questions answered while filling your FREE MASON 
JAR with (non-alcoholic) regional beverages from around the world! Talk 
to students who have gone abroad to destinations all around the globe, 
learn how to finance your goals to go abroad, and then get your jar 
filled. It’s probably the best way to learn about studying abroad.



 >>Lecture – “The German Foreign Office and the Nazi Past”<<
Wednesday, April 6th at 4:30 PM
The Piano Lecture Room, Earth Science Building, Amherst College

Last fall, the findings of an Independent Historical Commission on the 
History of the German Foreign Office during the Third Reich and in the 
early Federal Republic – established by then Foreign Secretary Joschka 
Fischer in 2005 – were published. The book was widely perceived and 
stirred a public debate. Norbert Frei, Visiting Professor at the New 
School for Social Research (New York), was a member of the commission. 
He will present main results of the research and discuss their relevance 
for Germany’s ongoing reflection about the Nazi past



 >>Summer Service-Learning with ISPL<<

linguistic immersion, service-learning, and academics over six 
continents. Application is easy and quick, and deadlines range from 
April 15th to June 8th, so it’s not too late to have the summer of your
