You are invited to join a rare "fact finding mission" to Europe this Spring 2012 when the Global Economics and Business Program travels to Brussels, Paris, and London to study the unfolding economic and political crisis in the Eurozone. As the largest economy in the world, what happens in Europe will have tremendous impact on the rest of the world, including the US. Will the common market in Europe and the 27-member countries that form the European Union survive the crisis? How are the large European Banks -- such as PNB-Paribus in France, and multinational companies -- such as Microsoft, KPMG, and Disney coping with the crisis? How are the different EU official institutions -- such as the EU Commission and Parliament addressing the crisis? We will also visit famed European centers of culture and business during our travels. Europe remains a vibrant center for business, arts, food, and music -- all of which you will have an opportunity to experience during our travels.
The travel program to Europe will be part of your sixteen-credit semester with AU’s Washington Semester Program. While in DC, we will be visiting with prominent policy and business experts including at the Federal Reserve, FDIC, SEC, the World Bank, and the IMF, as well as interacting with President Obama's top economic advisers at the White House Council of Economic advisers. Lastly, we will travel to New York, to the US financial capital in Manhattan for workshops at NYSE, CME, Standard & Poor's, etc. We still have openings for this spring 2012 if you would like to join what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime study adventure. For more information on the program and financial aid availability, please visit http://www.american.edu/washingtonsemester/intlbusiness/Europe.cfm or call WSP Associate Dean Christian J. Maisch (202) 895-4928; to apply visit http://www.american.edu/washingtonsemester/intlbusiness/Europe.cfm.

Inviting applications from undergraduates for the following 2011-2012 programs:
Day Laborer Exchange Program
Now in its third year, the Day Laborer Exchange Program connects students trained by the Kalmanovitz Initiative to day laborer hiring sites, or “corners” where day laborers congregate in hopes of finding work. Using a curriculum developed by DC Jobs with Justice, students teach “survival English”: the words and phrases that workers need to promote their job skills and to protect themselves against wage theft. Over a period of ten weeks, working in partnership with local day laborer organizers, students learn from and exchange experiences with day laborers while exploring structural issues affecting the day laborer community
Applications available here: http://lwp.georgetown.edu/campusproject/day-laborer-exchange-program/
Undergraduate Fellowship Program
The Kalmanovitz Initiative Undergraduate Fellowship Program supports student research on issues related to labor and the working poor.
Applications may be submitted electronically to kilwp@georgetown.edu or to our office at Maguire 209. Direct any questions to Sarah at 202-687-2293 or to kilwp@georgetown.edu.
