Summer 2004 CIEE Study Centers
This summer CIEE will offer your students the opportunity
to study abroad in 13 countries. These short-term programs are
often the perfect solution for a student who cannot commit to
being away from their home campus for a semester or academic year.
They can study anything from architecture in Turkey to completing
a business internship in Hong Kong to learning about Paris through
contemporary literature. Please click here to

New! CIEE Conservation Australia
CIEE has recently introduced a new volunteer program to
supplement the summer International Volunteer Projects. The
CIEE Conservation Australia Program offers students the opportunity
to contribute in a practical way to the conservation of the
Australian environment. Projects take place throughout Australia
in urban, regional, and remote destinations and students may
select from 2-week, 4-week, or 6-week programs year-round.

Student Support in Alcalá
This semester at the CIEE Study Center in Alcalá a “Grupo de
estudiantes de apoyo,” or peer support group, was formed. Two
CIEE participants are linked with one Spanish university student
who guides them through the library system, computer rooms and
makes introductions to other Spanish students. They also work
together on a cultural assignment with a prepared list of questions
regarding social values, dating, etc. where they discuss points
of view.
Peer students also provide practical advice on student
life throughout the semester, and some act as individual tutors,
supervised by the Resident Director, for CIEE students who request
adjustment assistance for the regular university courses.
