Wanted! A Few Good Volunteers!

Hamline University is hosting 16 "Fellows" from the Middle East for six weeks starting at the end of April. These young professional leaders (four Israeli, four Palestinian, four Jordanian and four Lebanese) are participating in the Hamline "Education to Employment" program, sponsored by the US State Department.  They will be in the Twin Cities to study American private, non-profit and public sector organizations as they develop their own projects to promote the transition from "Education to Employment" in their home communities.

HSB is playing an important role in this project and we want to include you! We are looking for 16 graduate students from any of our graduate programs(eight men and eight women) who would like to be an informal host/contact for one of the Middle East Fellows. Your role will be simple: take your Middle East guest out to dinner* and some activity at some point during their stay (between the end of April and early June) to provide them a more informal and personal view of life in the Twin Cities.

If you are interested, please contact Professor Ken Fox for more details at: kenfox@hamline.edu

*a small fund has been set aside to subsidize your dinner
