InteRDom Press - February 2011

InteRDom started the new year debuting a new face, developing the short program entitled "Expert in the Spanish Caribbean" for a group of 19 students from the University of Rhode Island. The Dominican Carnaval experience was alive as the central theme of the program, as the students visited important cultural and historical site related to this magnetic celebration. The 2-week program was part of a credit-bearing URI course which compiled historical, cultural, economic and political elements in a hands-on learning environment.

In addition to this program, InteRDom is currently developing another 4-week short program with City College and is open to new and exciting opportunities with other universities! Contact us to find out how InteRDom can help professors design an interactive and intensive curriculum focusing on aspects related to art, development, history, political science, environment and more, all in a Caribbean context. Find more information here.

DEADLINE APPROACHING: InteRDom's Summer 2011 Program is right around the corner! The application deadline is April 1st, and the team is very excited for the amount of interest expressed by students.
