Study Abroad--Three Great Opportunities!
IU at Oxford
Information Session - Friday, Jan. 22 at 3:00 pm in BUS 209
Come learn about a “ludicrously good” summer program hosted by the School of Public and Environmental Affairs on Friday, January 22 from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm in Kelley School of Business Room 209.
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. 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 currently 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 sample a variety of world cuisines, including British, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian, and Italian fare.
Participants 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.

Donate your old Cell Phones!
Got an old or broken cell phone? Don't throw it away! The Giving Back to Africa Student Association (GBASA) has teamed up with Cell Phones for Cancer, LLC to collect old or broken cell phones for recycling. For each cell phone recycled, $2 goes to a cancer charity, and $2 goes to GBASA.
The importance of recycling cell phones does not just involve the environment, it also involves the Congo. The mineral, coltan, is very abundant, profitable, and greatly exploited in the Congo. It is also one of the main components in cell phone production. The mineral is mined and then taken from the country so that citizens don't see the profits of their labor.
Help us by donating your cell phones today!You can find collection boxes in the SPEA undergraduate office, the Pourhouse Cafe, and Boxcar Books.For more information visit http://www.givingbacktoafrica.org or email us at gba@indiana.edu.
