Overseas study venture offered by Kent State Kent, Ohio - An overseas study program which is unique in nature in the nation is being offered by Kent State University in cooperation with three other concerned national organizations. The program is the Geneva Semester on the United Nations System. It is unique because of its topical oriented nature of the program rather than the area oriented nature of most other overseas study programs. The Geneva Semester, with its emphasis upon the workings of the international organizations and their concern about the problems of mankind, begins with a one- week introductory session in Vermont at the Scheiol for International Training, where the students are introduced to cross-cultural aspects of the international system. The major portion of the study will be conducted in Geneva, the seat of the European headquarters of the United Nations and of a number of governmental as well as non governmental international organizations such as ILO, GATT, WHO, ITU, WMO, and the Red Cross. The study will be conducted by professors from various institutes associated with the University of Geneva as well as those from Kent State University. The French language is also included in the study in order to help the students to develop their knowledge of the language as well as to better be able to interact with the Swiss community. The final 15 days of the program will involve travel to many of the different international and regional organizations located in Vienna, Strasbourg, Paris Brussels, and the Hague. After a success with participants from various parts of the United, States, the Fourth Geneva Semester will take place from August 19 through December 21, 1974.
