Last year, the Study Abroad Office at Baruch College has introduced the exchange program with Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan). This year’s application due is quickly approaching: February 16th, 2018. This due date is earlier than the ones for other programs, offered by the Study Abroad program. Please consider and take this wonderful opportunity. If you are interested in or have questions, contact the Study Abroad Office, ASAP.

This is the message from Mr. Christopher Tingue at the Study Abroad Office.:

“Because of Waseda’s own internal exchange deadlines, we are asking prospective Baruch-Waseda Exchange applicants to apply by Feb. 16. This is a month before our regular March 15 deadline for fall programs. This will give the Study Abroad Office just under two weeks to interview and nominate top candidates AND then for us to instruct the nominated applicants as to how to apply by no later than March 1 to Waseda for their fall semester.

Waseda’s system to apply is open from Feb 1 to March 1, but first students will need to apply to us. Last year, which was our first sending them students, they worked with us to take late applications. Now they want us to meet their deadlines this time around for fall. (For spring there is not a similar crunch so our deadline of Oct 1 works fine.)

Can you communicate to interested students taking Japanese or minors that if they want to apply for the fall 18 exchange at Waseda that they must apply by Feb. 16?

The Conversation Partners Program (CPP) matches native and nonnative speakers of English for informal conversations. The partnerships are a great way for nonnative students to gain confidence in English, for native speakers to gain experience in communicating across language barriers, and for both native and nonnative speakers to expand their cultural knowledge, make friends, and build a network of professional contacts. To participate, students should be willing to commit to meeting their partner about one hour per week for a minimum of 6 conversations. We also feature fun events throughout the semester, like trivia night, tea time, game night, professional development, and a closing ceremony for community building.

Please let your students know the following dates:

​

• Application Deadline: February 15, 2018
• Orientation Option 1: February 15, 2018, 12:45 pm-2:00 pm
• Orientation Option 2: February 28, 2018, 6:00 pm-7:15 pm

To download the flyer for Blackboard, Blog, or Course Site, please visit this link and click on the flyer at the bottom:   http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/cpp

Note: CPP often has more nonnative than native students signing up so please encourage both nonnative and native speakers to participate.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me via email: [email protected] Thank you!

Best,

Elizabeth Minei, Ph.D.

“The term ‘humanities’ includes, but is not limited to, the study and interpretation of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.”
–National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act, 1965, as amended

This fund, created by a generous donor and now about to launch its fourth year of operation, has two main purposes:  to assist students who wish to enroll in courses in the humanities at Baruch but lack the financial means to do so; and to enable classes in the humanities at Baruch to participate in extra-curricular activities that enrich students’ intellectual experience and understanding of their coursework.

Funds will be allocated by a committee lodged in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences that will meet several times a year to review applications by members of the Baruch community.  Student applications for tuition support in the fall semester should be made as early as possible in the registration process, preferably before the due date for tuition payment.  Applications from faculty for course activity support should be made as early as possible, but if funds remain available, worthy applications will be accepted until the last month of the semester in question.

Members of the committee for the academic year 2017-18 are Paula Berggren, Professor Emeritus of English; Susan Tenneriello, Associate Professor of Theater; and Boo Choi, Director of Administrative and Financial Services for the Weissman School.  Please direct applications to [email protected].

Student grants will be credited directly to the Bursar to cover the funded cost of tuition.  Funding for extra-curricular class activities will cover visits to museums, theaters, concerts, or other approved events; students will be expected to contribute a modest sum toward the costs of admission.  Funding does not cover transportation or food and will be capped at approximately $40 per student.

Katzen Public Interest Fellowship: $3,000 for Unpaid Internships

Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors: Are you doing an unpaid internship in an organization that makes a difference?  Apply for one of the 15 awards of $3,000 as part of the Katzen Public Interest Fellowship. Unpaid internships can be in non-profits, humanitarian efforts, the arts, political and educational organizations that serve the “common good.”  Students must have completed 16 credits at Baruch college and maintained approximately a 3.0 GPA.  Applications accepted on a rolling basis and the deadline is 02/16/2018.
