HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2006 as the "Year of Study Abroad."  To explore the study abroad

(http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/index.html) and the International 
Summer Award site (http://www.yale.edu/isa/).  To schedule an appointment 
to talk about your options, please call 432-8684.  And ... don't forget to 
watch this space for announcements about upcoming fun and interesting panel 
presentations by members of the Classes of 2006 and 2007 who have studied 
abroad.


John Thouron Prize for Summer Study Abroad at
Pembroke College, Cambridge University
The Thouron family, known for its generous commitment to trans-Atlantic 
academic exchange at the graduate level, has inaugurated a new program, 
beginning in 2006, designed to give undergraduate students an understanding 
of both shared and differing aspects of British and American culture.

The John Thouron Prize will be awarded to a small, select, group of 
undergraduates from Yale, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania to 
pursue an eight-week summer program at Pembroke College, Cambridge University.

For information about this prize, and the application process, please go to 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/fellowships/individual/thouron.html.  The 
application deadline for the Thouron Prize is noon, Wednesday, February 1, 
2006.


"New" Department of Political Science at University College London
