CAPA

I forgot to say - this will be a partnership between Northeastern and the CAPA My Education Program!  We'll be using the CAPA classrooms and, I believe, a CAPA professor.  If anyone wants more information on CAPA, the website is http://www.capa.org/.  From the CAPA ME website, "we actively encourage you to explore beyond the classroom in order to meet and interact with Sydneysiders. You can participate in meetings, discussion groups and cultural evenings with representatives of the many ethnic and religious minorities who give Sydney its rich cosmopolitan flavor. A city of international business, fine arts, design, theater, technology, politics and finance, Sydney is an exciting, modern hub that inspires creativity and cutting-edge innovation. All of this awaits you during your time abroad!"  Have a lovely evening, all of my lovely followers!  (And, of course... this evening's photo is from www.trekearth.com)! 

A Novel Opportunity

Last week, I was informed that I'd been accepted to go on a trip to Australia! Every summer, Northeastern offers month-long programs called Dialogues of Civilization. Open to all students and professors, all dialogues incorporate cultural, experiential education. If a professor chooses to take students, they set up an itinerary, open applications and interviews, select students to travel with, and ship off to a foreign place! In Sydney, we'll visit clinics and take a culture course taught by an Australian professor. We'll be taking a trip to the Blue Mountains and have weekends free to explore the city. I'll keep you updated as we meet for our monthly pre-trip meetings! For now, here's a photo to get us all in the spirit (from www.beautifulplacestovisit.com)!
