[GEO] Additional Updates

[Global Education Office]

Hello!
We’ve got a few quick updates for you all.

First, GEO would like congratulate Hampshire’s recipients of the 
Freeman-ASIA scholarship: Jasmine Washington and Julianne Chaloux! Both 
Jasmine and Julianne were awarded funds to support their participation 
in Hampshire’s Intensive Chinese Language Program in Hefei, China this 
summer.

There are many opportunities for students seeking to study abroad to 
obtain scholarships and funding to help cover the cost of their trip. 
The GEO office and website (http://www.hampshire.edu/geo/funding.htm) 
has information about many of these opportunities.

In addition, we would like to highlight the Fund for Education Abroad 
(FEA), a new scholarship opportunity which has just announced its first 
round of awards this year. FEA awards need and merit-based scholarships 
to US citizens studying at least four weeks abroad, with preference 
towards students doing a program with a service learning or volunteer 
component, students studying in a program known for academic rigor or 
immersion, and students studying in non-traditional destinations. For 
more information, visit http://www.fundforeducationabroad.com/

***There Is Wind That Blew***
April 29th
6PM
Hampshire College Main Lecture Hall

Carl Elsaesser describing his division 3 film:
Two parents insert themselves into their son's diary and assume several 
roles until the diary realizes their presence. As the passages fall 
apart and the son violently tries to get rid of his parents, a film crew 
appears-framing specifics-searching for concrete answers to an echoing 
repression. There is Wind That Blows explores the relationship between, 
closeted repression, film making, narrative representation, family 
history and agency.
