The Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEU)
APPLICATION DEADLINE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5 2009
The Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEU) at the University of Michigan creates new opportunities for short-term (3 or 4 week) intercultural study of a global nature at field sites, both domestic and abroad. The program enables 12 to 15 undergraduates (GIEU Student Scholars), led by faculty members (GIEU Teaching Fellows), to learn in rich cultural environments while gaining a greater understanding of global situations and processes. GIEU is now part of the new U-M Center for Global and Intercultural Study. GIEU is a year-long commitment. The GIEU Course (UC 275) begins in Winter 2010 and extends into Fall 2010. The field experiences (3 or 4 week internships) take place May 3 to August 16.
