Want to study abroad at Cambridge University this summer?  Not sure how you can afford to do so?  Then come to the Thouron Prize info meeting on Monday afternoon.   This prize offers Yale students a chance to study courses offered by the Pembroke-King's Summer Programme at Cambridge, in addition to creating their own supervision.  The supervision portion of the Thouron program is perfect for science students who want to do interesting research related to their majors, in addition to take regular courses in the social sciences and humanities.

About the John Thouron Prize:  The Thouron family, known for its generous commitment to trans-Atlantic academic exchange at the graduate level, inaugurated a new program 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 Harvard, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania to pursue an eight-week summer program at Pembroke College, Cambridge University. Through exposure to the world-renowned tutorial system, students will be challenged intellectually, and through engagement with a wide range of carefully tailored extracurricular experiences, they will have an enriching cultural experience.


2007 and 2008 Thouron Prize Recipients:  David Hamstra (DC '10), Sydney Levine (DC '09), Kate Waldman (SY '10), Adam Gardner (TD '09), Michael Losak (PC '09), Marshall Pailet (SM '09).

Application Deadline: This year's deadline for Thouron applications is noon, Thursday, December 4.
