On Tuesday, April 16, the Global Studies Center will host info sessions for Smith’s study abroad programs in Paris and Geneva. Any student interested in studying abroad in 2014-15 should attend the session, which begins at 4 p.m. Smith’s long-established Junior Year Abroad programs in Geneva and Paris attract about 30 students each year. Students live in university housing or with French-speaking families, attend classes with their French and European peers, and come back with near-native language skills and a real understanding of the culture.
The following day, Wednesday, April 17, at 12:15 p.m., the Global Studies Center will also host Les Sciences à Paris Program Info Session. In 2014-2015, Smith will be launching Les Sciences à Paris program, a new science-oriented study abroad option within the long-standing Smith program in Paris. Les Sciences à Paris will feature two courses on the unique aspects of scientific thought and methodology in France, as well as options for internships and/or laboratory placements. The program is open to science majors with at least one year of college-level French. Questions about the new program may be directed to Dean of International Studies Rebecca Hovey or Computer Science and Faculty Director in Paris (2014-2015) Christophe Golé.
