Heads Up! First Day of Classes!

In last summer’s orientation materials (a planner, for students, and a guide for parents) FYE mistakenly noted Tuesday, January 11 as the first day of classes for the spring term (instead of Monday, January 10). The mistake was discovered mid-term in the fall and FYE sent multiple mass e-mails to both students and parents to correct this error – and they included this update on their regular website and on the FYMe website.

So, if you have heard that the first day of classes isn't til Tuesday...sorry, but no such luck. See you back in classes on Monday the 10th!

Want to spend the summer in Oxford?

Subject: “IU at Oxford Program” - Information Session, Friday, November 6 at 3:00 pm in SPEA Room 277

Come learn about a “ludicrously good” summer program hosted by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (Tenth Street and Fee Lane) on Friday, November 6 from 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm in Room 277.

Program participants will study governance and decision-making in public and private organizations at world renowned Oxford University’s Said Business School from July 2 – August 1, 2010. Students will receive 6 credit hours for the two courses: “Decision-Making in Public and Private Contexts: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” (SPEA V450) and “Governance in Public and Private Contexts: Herding Cats” (SPEA V450). Because of the broad applicability of the course material, the program has been pre-approved for credit for all SPEA undergraduate majors and is always of interest to a variety of other majors, including students of business, political science, international studies, economics, history, English, religion, and more. . .

Course lectures will be led by Dr. Kenneth Richards, a Wharton Business School graduate who serves as an associate professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and a senior visiting fellow at Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. Throughout the program, there will be numerous guest lectures and weekly tutorial sessions led by Oxford University faculty and graduate students.

Students will stay in a recently renovated 20-bedroom house owned by Exeter College. They will dine in college at Exeter once each week and will have a unique opportunity to enjoy meals from a variety of world cuisines, including British, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian, and Italian fare.

Students will enjoy course-related field trips to London (Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the Churchill War Rooms); the West Country (Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, and Bath); and Banbury (Plotting Sites for the English Civil War and the Washington ancestral home). They can also take advantage of optional Oxford field trips to the University’s colleges, the Ashmolean Museum, the Botanic Gardens, and more.

To participate, students must be rising juniors or seniors during the summer of 2010 with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Applications will be due by Tuesday, February 9, 2010.

Kaplan FREE PRACTICE TESTS!

Interested in some form of graduate study? Kaplan is offering free practice tests!

On February 21st Kaplan will be offering a campus-wide opportunity for students to take a free practice GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, and OAT administered under simulated testing conditions at the IU Kelly School of Business.

Kaplan’s Practice Test is a terrific opportunity for prospective business, graduate, law, medical and dental students to answer a critical question, "If I took the exam today, how would I score?"

Last year, tens of thousands of Kaplan Practice Test participants assessed their test-taking skills while learning valuable strategies to help them ace the real test. Since admission to LAW, BUSINESS, GRADUATE, MEDICAL and DENTAL school is fierce, a high exam score is crucial to the admissions process.

Kaplan would like to invite your students to participate in the Kaplan Practice Test Event taking place on your campus on February 21st. To register, students may call 1-800-KAP-TEST today or visit Kaplan online at www.kaptest.com/practice.
They may also contact Keely Davenport via email at Keely.davenport@kaplan.com

Also, Kaplan would like to inform all IU students that between now and the end of January, they are offering $100 OFF for any Kaplan Graduate Course.

Higher Scores Guaranteed!! Register at 1-800-KAP-TEST or KAPTEST.com
