| − | <p><font face="Verdana">Gonzaga has a number of new summer study abroad programs this year, including three in Africa which involve small groups of faculty and students engaging in a variety of academic pursuits, including the study of issues related to international development.  We will be engaged in water sanitation and public health issues in Benin, and service and community development projects are under discussion at the two locations in Zambia.  Together, these three programs will serve small but diverse groups of students from Engineering, the Comprehensive Leadership Program, the Psychology Program, the Nursing Program, and the TESL program, among others.    </font></p>

| − | <p><font face="Verdana">As part of our support for international program development, the International Program Advisory Committee (IPAC) is forming a Spring semester study group comprised of faculty, staff, and students interested in exploring the topic of international development.  We hope to have a diverse range of perspectives represented in the group, including interdisciplinary discussion from fields such as economics, ethnic studies, history, language and literature, and politics.  During the Spring semester we will probably focus on African culture and development dynamics, not only because of our new programs but also because of new scholarship in this area. In addition to seeking a better understanding of the problems of development, we will look at model programs which have international service, volunteerism, or development assistance as goals.  An ongoing study group may be able to advise current and future international development program activity, in Africa and other parts of the world.  </font></p>

| − | <p><font face="Verdana">If you are interested in finding out more about IPAC’s International Development Study Group, please reply to Mark Alfino at alfino@gonzaga.edu.  The group will probably meet 3-4 times during the semester.   We welcome nominations of interested students.  </font></p>
