<b>Info Session: Hamp Exchange in Cuba<br>
Thursday, February 28 @ 4-5pm - pizza provided!<br>
East Lecture Hall</b><br>
Hampshire has a faculty-led Exchange Program in Cuba. This is a rare
opportunity for U.S. students, as very few academic programs in Cuba
for U.S. students currently exist. Program highlights include: improve
your Spanish, learn about Cuba's history and political climate, develop
independent projects with a Cuban professional in the field as your
mentor (artists, writers, historians, etc). For Div IIs, a program runs
every spring semester. If you're interested in going S'09, come to
this info session. Going to be Div III next year? Come to this info
session and talk to GEO about going F'08 for Div III research.<br>
