InteRDom Press - September 2010

ATTENTION PROFESSORS AND ADMINISTRATORS: InteRDom would like to invite you to join us in Santo Domingo on October 20-24 for the first annual InteRDom PRO: Professional Externship for University Professors and Administrators. This event is designed to introduce you to the staff, facilities and collaborators of the InteRDom program and to experience a day in the life of an InteRDom intern. For more information, including the registration form, please visit our webpage.

It's not too late for you to schedule for InteRDom to visit your school this fall. Team members welcome the opportunity to present to student groups and classes in and around the New York area. If there is an activity in which you would like for us to participate, or if you simply would like InteRDom to visit your university, send an email request to students@interdominternships.org.

InteRDom has formed a special partnership with the Historic Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) of North Carolina to encourage global exposure through international programs amongst their students through the Study Abroad /Global Engagement Consortium (SAGE).
