SUMMARY PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In addition to the academic focus of each Institute, the Summer Institutes are intended to introduce European students to U.S. culture and society. The Institutes will include cultural components that allow students to become familiar with their host community during a five-week period, beginning early July 2013.
Participants in the Summer Institute on Environmental Stewardship will explore current themes in environmental studies, which may include natural resource management, sustainable development/ sustainable agricultural practices, food security, ecotourism, energy generation (new and traditional forms), and water management and treatment. The issues will be explored from numerous angles: local grassroots activism and civic initiatives, market-oriented approaches, and federal government policies and regulation. The Institute might also examine the relationship between environmental security and national security. In addition, the Institute will explore environmental issues in the context of a globalized society, and will draw comparisons between the United States and the participants’ home countries. We expect the Institute on Environmental Stewardship to provide opportunities for participants to engage with policy makers, individuals in technical positions, community representatives, indigenous leaders, and other key actors committed to the protection and management of the environment. Students will be encouraged to implement a public service project when they return home.
Accommodations will be made for students with disabilities, as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please note: while students are expected to be conversant in English, host campuses will arrange for English language support, such as individual tutoring or small-group classes, as needed.
In addition to adult staff supervision, each institute will also have two or more peer mentors –U.S. students who will befriend the participants and advise them.
Students will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the program
Our Icelandic courses will commence on Monday January 7th and run through Wednesday February 20th.
