International Association of Research Universities:  The Global Summer Program
IARU Global Summer Program is an exciting 
learning experience for undergraduate students at 
<http://www.iaruni.org/about/iaru_members>ten of 
the world’s leading research-intensive 
universities (including Yale!). The IARU Global 
Summer Program provides intensive, residential 
<http://www.iaruni.org/gsp/courses>summer courses 
to students from IARU member institutions. Each 
host university – in this first year Australian 
National University, Cambridge, Copenhagen, 
National University of Singapore, University of 
Oxford, University of Tokyo, and Yale University– 
offers a range of courses, including content 
unique to the program. By participating in the 
IARU Global Summer Program, students will be 
joining a new community of global citizens, and of future global leaders.

There are a lot of interesting courses around the 
world for summer 2008 -- including some in the 
sciences and environmental studies.  For 
information on this program, please go to the 
Yale Summer Session web site at 
http://www.yale.edu/summer/gsp/opportunities.html. 
This program's international courses are eligible 
for International Summer Award funding.

Note to students who plan on studying abroad in fall 2008 ...
Don't wait until the last minute to submit your 
Yale Year or Term Abroad application!  If you are 
planning on studying abroad for fall semester 
2008, or academic year 2008-09, please note that 
we are now accepting and reviewing applications 
(application forms are available at 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/forms.html). 
Most students who turn in completed, routine 
applications (routine = approved Programs + meet 
all requirements as listed in YCPS and the study 
abroad web site) will have an answer from the 
Year or Term Abroad Committee within a week.   Do 
not wait until you have received an acceptance 
from your chosen study abroad program before 
applying to Yale -- your Yale application must be
