Dear all,

I am forwarding this week's list of events that I receive from Global Studies (thanks Global Studies) because there is some good stuff going on this week.

Today there is the Study Abroad fair in the student union from 12-3. I will be there to promote our Study Abroad program to Freiburg, Germany if you are interested. There is also an interesting talk from 2-3 about Venezuela!

have a good week!

Solange.
