ASSIST's Summer Programs provided two incredible opportunities for faculty and students of member schools to study and travel abroad. Teachers spent a week in June at the Teachers Workshop on European Unity in Brussels, Belgium. A group of rising sophomores, juniors and seniors participated in the Olomouc Summer Institute for Young Leaders in the Czech Republic. This latter program ran from July 6 through August 5, 2006. Students took part in classes focusing on global issues, leadership, political science, or ecology.
Here's what participants are saying about ASSIST's Summer Programs:
