We encourage you to come to the meeting to learn more about the program.  The deadline for applications is early in March but acceptance is on a first come, first serve basis.  Therefore, if you have decided you will definitely participate I would encourage you to see Gaby at the Center for International Education to complete the process.  Let me also remind you that the application for scholarships is due in late February.

At the meetings we will talk about the itinerary, courses and other matters as well as answer your questions.  We will try to have one or more students on the program in 2013 to talk about their experience in Morocco.Morocco2014
